I have never played the game nor watched any other animes made but this author, so I have no idea what to expect.
Well, the author's previous work, Higurashi no Naki Koro Ni, also involved a time-looping mystery with a lot of Unreliable Narration, so he's definitely got a theme going on. I know the first season (at least) has been officially released in English, so it might be worth checking out.

(Dragging Higurashi's cosmology into it, it's entirely possible that rather than creating or resetting the entire world each time a new 'game' starts, Beatrice is just picking a new pre-existing alternate universe to mess with.)
