Groundhog Day is a weirdly effective narrative pattern for TV/movies. I don’t think it works in text media. Watching a character repeatedly live through a loop that others forget, including dying/suffering, until they puzzle their way out, packs a big punch.

Besides Groundhog Day, there’s a Doctor Who episode (S9.11) and a Librarians episode (S2.8). Also the recent Palm Springs. A big punch comes when the character convinced others they’re in a loop, and is finally “seen” by another, only to be forgotten again next time.
