You

You are at the motel in the middle of nowhere, the last place you want to be at. You are forced to attend a psychotherapy, which you don’t want. But you can’t leave because, whatever you do, as soon as the clock hits 20:47, the world rewinds and you are back in the room with your therapist. Find the strength to lift yourself up, learn about residents of Rue Valley, uncover the mystery of the time anomaly and figure out a way to stop it.

Status Effects

Suffer the consequences of your choices and struggle with the Status Effects that will temporarily or permanently change your personality.
