If any person in the city commits a "sin", the entire city is destroyed, sending the player back to the start of the day. However, players retain their knowledge and inventory from previous loops, allowing them to approach problems in new ways and make different choices. This time loop system provides a sense of freedom to experiment, as failures do not result in permanent setbacks.
