How Was Your Day?

A missing dog. A sinister town. A day that never ends.13-year-old Diya thought moving to the sleepy town of Lakeview would be the worst thing to happen to her. She was wrong.

When her beloved dog Beans vanishes without a trace, Diya finds herself trapped in a nightmarish time loop, reliving the same day over and over – the day before Diwali. But each reset reveals darker truths lurking beneath Lakeview’s quiet façade, and Diya begins to realise the town itself is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Groundhog Day meets Stranger Things in this narrative-driven, point-and-click supernatural thriller that brings a dark twist to an ordinary teen's life. Navigate a town where neighbours are hiding dark secrets and each repeated day brings you closer to startling revelations.

With her frustrating day stuck on repeat, ending with the same tired question from her parents — "How was your day?" — Diya realises that if she has any chance of solving the mystery, she must break out of her comfort zone, confront her fears, and, ugh, talk to her parents! As she starts to open up and seek answers, Diya discovers that the residents of Lakeview are hiding secrets while a sinister presence shadows her every move. As pets around town begin disappearing and a strange aurora lights the sky, growing deeper and more ominous with each loop, Diya must question everything and everyone — while the mystery of Beans’s disappearance looms larger with each loop.

Who, or what, is behind the time loop and Beans’ mysterious disappearance? And how does the festival of Diwali tie into the unfolding mystery?
