However, it was a fun exercise and we hope that at least a handful of you might like our little thought experiment!
Dive into a Lovecraftian-inspired interpretation of the cult classic, Groundhog Day. As the familiar story unfolds, an eerie layer emerges, entwining rituals and the looming presence of ancient beings.
Phil Connors, trapped in Punxsutawney, begins an uncanny journey alongside our narrator, who sees the signs of an ancient prophecy in the repeating day.
