For a limited time, from February 27th to March 5th, the game is priced at $1.99. Afterward, the price increases to $2.99. Pre-registered players can claim a Panda Quake Mini 4WD by visiting Brother Cao in the game's Youth Palace.

The Time-Loop Narrative:
The game's premise revolves around reliving the last day of 1999 in a time loop, a familiar trope handled with Littoral Games' signature 90s/early 2000s nostalgic setting. Players control an elementary schoolboy trapped in this loop, uncovering secrets about friends and family while striving to orchestrate everyone's "perfect day."
The game features seven time segments, eleven main characters, twenty event cards, and a free DLC. Through repetition, revisits, and crucial decisions, players shape the interconnected narrative, leading to varied outcomes.
Gameplay and Features:
A Perfect Day – Go Back to 1999 emphasizes memories, regrets, and the weight of choices. Players can revisit childhood friendships, explore the lives of their parents, and influence the story's progression.
