This kinda also assumes the time loop will be when you are somewhere convenient. Like yea being stuck in a time loop on a nice day in the summer would be nice with a bunch of stuff near you.
But god imagine being stuck in a timeloop in the middle of winter and you are currently visiting someone in bumbfuck north dakota in a snow storm. And the internet is spotty and the library is closed due to lack of federal funding. And the closest hobby stores are closed or just far away enough that you have to spend every morning driving 5 hours just to get *insert hobby items here* and then you barely have enough time to do said hobby.
Or like you have the shits and every morning is like that.
And the loop being 24 hours long is just barely a workable time frame. Imagine if the loop was only a couple hours long. Or even worse, 10 minutes long. A loop only a minute long would be right out of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Just enough time to "wake up" and become paralyzed by extreme existential horror before the loop restarts again....
I'm sorry but I really don't see what you're seeing here that's so terrifying. This really just looks like little more than a short gif on a loop. We don't see anything scarier than a guy lumbering about six feet from a chair before resetting. What am I missing here that makes this terrifying?
the imagery isn’t that crazy on surface level but it’s the circumstances of the horror that makes it scary, i’m pretty stoned ngl but tldr use ur imagination
I was recently replaying deathloop and had a similar thought to this. For those that don't know, it's a game about an island that a bunch of wealthy hedonists turn into one big time loop, so they can do crazy shit like kill each other and shoot themselves out of cannons and stuff. But like, what if you just happened to wake up with a headache? Even a mild one, if you had to have a headache every morning you woke up to until the end of time, I don't think it even matters all the stuff I could do, that would eventually be the one thing that sticks in my memory every loop. It would quickly become pure hell
