Hey, I’ve got an update: Most of January was spent with me coding, bugtesting, and making calculations. I have an updated version that **completes the tutorial loop** on [itch.io](https://myeraland.itch.io/a-doomed-day), but not on COGDemos until I complete: - bug testing - grammar and other editing mistakes - the complete route of the GAIN/LOSE favor Within the update on **itch** , you can: - complete the tutorial loop - take a photo! - die a mysterious death - re-evaluate your personality - start loop 1 introduction Which brings the WIP counts to: 84000 words with code (+10000) 52000 words without code (+6000) * * * My goal was to reply using the completed **tutorial loop** examples, but, seeing as it’s not fully completed, I’m going to hold off until I can get good examples. * * * I wanted to still post an update by the end of January as I described, but I couldn’t manage to complete _all_ of my goals. But, that’s alright! I’m so happy to share with you all how much the game remembers your actions. I’ll be working hard in the meantime to complete my goals properly. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/wip-a-doomed-day-time-loop-murder-mystery-74k-words-update-itch-io-84k-27-jan-2026/174929)._
