A woman is stuck in a time loop. Every time she dies in a slapstick accident in her tiny home, she is sent back to the start again and respawns.

The longer the time loop lasts, the harder it gets to hold onto supporting structures and routines. This smooth artificial landscape was built on top of rubble and gigantic human errors. How to build a livable present while you‘re stuck in virtual limbo?

How Long Is Now meditates on isolation, the nature of routines and thought patterns, the well-trodden paths of timetravel plots, and if you‘re indeed hurting continuity while killing time.
