Rinse And Repeat

Advertisement

Rinse And Repeat delves into the deep-seated fears that manifest in vulnerable moments, specifically focusing on the routine act of showering with one’s eyes closed. The game is rooted in a nostalgic, retro-inspired aesthetic reminiscent of PS1 and VHS visuals, and it simulates the tension and anxiety that come from childhood fears of unseen threats. The game was developed over several days, with the creator channeling both creativity and a bit of procrastination into the development process. Players find themselves in the shoes of someone winding down their day with a seemingly benign shower, which quickly escalates into a nerve-wracking scenario. Every sound or unexpected silence becomes a source of potential danger, especially as players must close their eyes to wash their hair, plunging themselves into darkness and uncertainty.

Interactive Elements and Game Design

Rinse And Repeat is structured to be concise, with a total gameplay time of about 5 to 10 minutes, yet it is crafted to offer extensive variability with seven possible endings based on the player’s reactions and choices. These endings vary, each providing a different glimpse into the consequences of the player’s actions under pressure. The game’s design incorporates special timing-based events, adding layers of interaction and engagement by linking certain actions to real-time or specific times of day, which enhances the immersive quality of the experience. Control is straightforward, using standard first-person navigation keys and simple interaction mechanics, allowing players to focus fully on the unfolding narrative and the psychological tension of the game.
