A Heartwarming Game with a Rich Story – A Perfect Dayis Now Available on Xbox

What if you could travel back in time to the exact day when everything went so wrong that youve been regretting till now? Would you make different choices, say different things, or, perhaps say nothing at all? In A Perfect Day, a 6th-grade Chinese student has got this opportunity to relive his last day of the 20th century again and again, but unlike in the movie “Groundhog Day”, he enters a loop without the memories from the past ones.

A Perfect Day is an interactive fiction game. Playing as the Chinese elementary schoolboy, your journey starts from the sudden cancellation of a school day. At first, you just want to be bold enough to give a card to your favorite classmate. However, through the endless cycle on the last day of 1999, you learn about your friends’ and family’s secrets, and in the end help everyone achieve their ”perfect day”. You can also play Gamicom mini-games, assemble your own 4WD, or just spend the entire day relaxing in the park—It’s all up to you to have a perfect day for everyone…or not.

Innovative Time-Loop Based Gameplay

In A Perfect Day, you get to repeat the last day of the 20th century without the memories from the past loops. You’ll be able to make the most out of this single day that’s given to you, or quite the contrary. In the end, this is supposed to be your “perfect day”. At last, we all have our own definition of “perfect”, don’t we?

A Heartwarming, Wholesome Story

Based on four main storylines intertwined to reveal the whole picture, the game takes you on a touching, nostalgic adventure where regrets can be forgotten, wounds healed and missteps forgiven. Get back to school and look at your friends from a different perspective, that will allow you to discover their true selves. Relive the thrill of the first love. Face your family dealing with the hardship you might otherwise never know, and try to reverse the negative into positive.

Living and Breathing Characters

The know-it-all with glasses, the rich kid who keeps pace with the trends, the girl that you have a crush on, the neighbor granny who seems to know some secrets about you, and the crazy homeless man who keeps talking about aliens… Accompany them, get to know them, and maybe try to re-write their stories.

A Nostalgic Journey to China and the Year 1999

Get back to the ‘90s and visit China at the dawn of its economic boom. Immerse yourself in the Chinese culture and lifestyle from the era, all pictured in a beautiful crayon painting style. Feel the nostalgia and longing after the good old times when life seemed so much easier.
