Rip off of a rip off of groundhog life - This game's author already does much better by mentioning his inspiration.
Lets be honest - human creativity is taking from something existing and adding or removing something(or mixing 2 thingies)
Groundhog day is not a game. It is not every name and system and progression word for word, it is not every hint of plot or setting or even popularity. It's not even the same form of media for crying out loud
And if you're going to whinge about it like that, Groundhog day was *not* the original 'time loop', not even close.
Don't defend this title.
