Have there been any setups that had working "time travel" mechanics? or Groundhog's Day type situations?

I'm intrigued.

I was thinking you'd have to build in some conditionals, and have the game be flipless or heavily janitored, but I haven't thought on it too hard. Was just driving home with mafs on my mind.

I have a 15 person small game ready to go whenever there is space for another small game. Very simple game, very limited in the form of power roles, but some fun flavor.

I got an insight more from the second half of your statement re: "Groundhog Day". There's the god of time or something, and each day he chooses either 1 or 3 players in secret (not yet sure which I prefer, probably the 3). Before the day starts, the one person decides, or the 3 people decide by secret majority vote, whether at the end of the day we move to the next night, or the day resets as if nothing ever happened; this can only happen once per day. Make the game have a higher-than-average amount of day actions (and maybe remove the penalty for fake day-actions :v: or at least partially), and I reckon this can give the opportunity for some nice bluffing.

Note: Obviously, any flips from stuff like dayvigs would be delayed until end of day, if and only if the day actually ends there.

I played around with the idea for Culture mafia where the game would jump ahead from day 1 to day 3, with a role that essentially thunderdomes two people as the potential lunch targets for day 2 while scum also lock in their night 2 night kills.

Then when Day 3 resolves, everything goes to day 2. It was far too complicated and I think too unfair to scum, essentially.

I was considering roles in a hypothetical Zero Escape mafia that treated the day as different days: voting to change the past or blind voting for the future, everyone with multiple lives and potentially multiple roles, basically play three games at once with stuff potentially affecting other “games” from within one “game”

Haha it's actually not! I have a lot of games designed. The League spiritual sequel is... more normal than most, ha. Coming in April, tho!

The time travel game is called "Past, President, and Future" and I'll leave it at that.

I hate that series and its creator’s decision to turn historical figures into his own personal jerkoff material, thus ruining a fantastic concept

So neither, they both suck

you are making a game based on the series where one of the biggest twists is foreshadow by the fact that the dude keeps creeping out every female character in the game when he hits on them because he is actually an old man and doesn't realize it and has a character with a design like this

With all the role madness and games with added complexities to them going on, I put together a simple 15 person small game.

VERY role-lite. This is not a "solve with night actions" style game as there are no night actions beyond killing.
