About Causal Loop

Exo-archaeologist Bale arrives on Tor Ulsat with his colleague Jen, an exo-linguist, to study the ruins of the lost Tor civilisation. But when he unwittingly activates the Chronolith - an ancient alien device - reality shatters. Jen vanishes, and Bale is trapped in a fractured world where time loops and echoes of the past and future bleed together. With no way to contact mission control, Bale must navigate countless obstacles, unravel the fate of the Tor, and outwit the cryptic and mysterious forces that oppose him.

As reality unravels and truth remains buried in the ruins, Bale's only hope is to solve the mystery of the Tor - before he's lost to the loop forever. Record, re-record, and replay. Use the signature 'Echo Branching' mechanic to record your actions and engage with up to three echoes of your past self. Harness these duplicates to skillfully learn to manipulate ancient alien systems that once seemed impossible to navigate. Explore beautiful environments through fifteen hand-crafted chapters filled with secrets that will allow you to unravel the mystery of this alien planet.

Explore a mysterious alien planet through the lens of an emotional and thought-provoking story, with the puzzles always supporting the momentum of the underlying narrative. Every character is fully voiced by a fantastic cast. In addition, we have placed a major focus on accessibility to ensure that all players are able to enjoy Causal Loop.…
