The Skip ButtonGen Alpha

This 2007 Spanish thriller is a masterclass in time travel, but on a super intimate, terrifying scale. It’s not about grand paradoxes, but about one guy caught in a loop, making things worse with every step. For us, it’s prime inspiration for AI-driven narratives with complex causal chains, or VR experiences where player choices create immediate, looping consequences. It proves you can build huge tension with minimal elements.
