What Garbage Day is

Garbage Day was released in 2016. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Garbage Day is an open world sandbox game, in which you are stuck in a time loop (meaning you live the same day over and over). In this game you have to explore and interact to find out how to get out of the time loop. You are open to do anything you want, kill innocent people, go to work, watch tv, go to the park, etc. I don't want to spoil anything, but you'll be surprised how open ended this game is. There is no surprise that this game is inspired by the movie Groundhog Day.
