Causal Loop

Causal Loop is a compelling mix of adventure and logic puzzles in a high-quality sci-fi setting. It not only impresses visually with its great lighting and texturing, but also makes clever use of the strengths of the Unreal Engine. Its high level of photorealism makes it visually appealing to many target groups.

Thanks to its balanced gameplay, easy-to-understand introduction, and high degree of polish, it is easy to get started, while the complexity increases as the game progresses. This creates a flow that is never interrupted by frustration or boredom.

Despite the linear setting, the game creates the impression of a credible sci-fi world that makes you curious to discover it and solve the puzzles hidden within. The combination of excellent voice acting, immersive audio design, and increasing complexity of the puzzles draws players further and further into the story. Causal Loop does not have to hide from genre giants such as Portal or The Talos Principle, which is extremely remarkable for a team of only two people.
