Best Name Anagram

Do you remember learning what an anagram was in school, then spending countless hours trying to figure out what your name could be an anagram for? And if I do, does that make me an incredible nerd?

Okay, so now that confession time is over, I have one more thing to confess.

Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
