## What is Day Repeat Day?

Day Repeat Day is an interactive story and a match-3 game that takes you through the years in a life of an average person. You're hired to do a job. You try to manage your relationships. But you're never really sure where it's all leading to. It's a story about living, the daily grind and what it all means in the end, topped with a sprinkle of satire and mysteries.

After doing a lot of action games, I wanted to do something much more intimate and personal and Day Repeat Day is what came of it.

Press:
- It takes some serious ingenuity to subvert a genre as entrenched as the mobile match-3 game, but somehow developer Kimmo Factor, probably most well-known for the awesome hack ‘n slash game Barbearian, has done exactly that - Game of the Week / Touch Arcade
- It turns out to be much, much more than this, than either genre, a whole, complicated and unique creation, that speaks truth about life, about work, about hierarchies and about mistakes. It’s stunning. - Kotaku

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2026-06-24, version 1.1.2*

This game has so much depth and feeling. Exceeded my expectations. I finished my first run and am full of emotions.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-02-27, version 1.1.2*

After I finished playing it made me sit down and think for a while. I’ve never had a phone game do that to me…

### 1/5 — Fun at first

*2023-10-30, version 1.0.10*

This game was fun at first but now I am trying every day to finish my last task and it is a constant fail. This is going on for over a week and is now annoying. I wish I could get my money back!

### 3/5 — Confused

*2023-10-17*

I am stuck on the Last to the last task. I must have played it about 10 times by now and it always comes up as failed. This is not much fun and I am wondering what I am doing wrong❓

### 5/5 — The depth of this game is astonishing

*2023-08-16*

So much more than a match 3 game.
So many clues and hidden treats to find.
I’m gobsmacked at the beauty, the creativity and the underlying sinister feel to this absolute gem of a game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words!

### 5/5 — Great game with a lot of character

*2023-06-08, version 1.0.10*

I love this game for how its casual but you can play it in just a day. Its very fun and the 3 match is quite entertaining. I really enjoy playing it and would recommend it to anyone

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-02-06, version 1.0.8*

Fun, challenging, thought-provoking, entertaining, and artistic. A must play. But I also think you should get all of this developers games. They are all brilliant in different ways.

### 5/5 — Executes Perfectly

*2022-10-25, version 1.0.8*

The game does everything I feel it’s sought out to do. I started out just having fun with the whimsical, match-3 type job and chatting with friends and coworkers without any thought of consequences of actions. Very quickly I ended up dreading every single match-3 game, just wanting to complete them quickly so I could have some sort of family or friend to text or number to call to break up the monotony of the pointless little job of a game. I put thought into every message between contacts, and the game almost immediately makes you feel the consequences of your choices. I played through once, trying to focus on my family, only for work to eventually take over my life. I played again, acting as their perfect little corporate slave and watching as my family and friends all got pushed away as a result. The results end nearly the same, withering away as just another cog in the machine. No matter my choices, no matter how different the story varied (and I was surprised by how much it did vary between every little choice), it always ended more or less the same. But I played again, persisted, and achieved what I believe is the true ending, and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same as a result. Truly a work of art.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2022-09-24, version 1.0.8*

My only complaint is I wish there were achievements included. I’m also not sure about the possibility of multiple endings like in the steam game… I’ve been trying, but haven’t been able to figure it out myself, and as far as I know there’s no guide, so not sure if it’s even possible on iPad. If it is, awesome, I’ll keep trying.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.8*

I thought the reviews on the writing were too good to be true, but I feel like it underplayed the quality in retrospect. Impressive “choose your own adventure” pick from 3 and match 3 game for a thinking audience.
