About
What if every decision you made left behind an echo – an imprint of your past actions, repeating endlessly? In Causal Loop, players don’t just solve puzzles—they navigate a fractured reality that is both their greatest tool and their greatest threat.
In Causal Loop the exo-archaeologist Bale arrives on the long-forgotten alien planet Tor-Ulsat with his colleague Jen, an exo-linguist, to study the ruins of the lost civilization of the Tor—Only to become trapped within a colossal causality loop that fractures reality itself.
With no way to contact mission control and only his companion Walter to help him, 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 the 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.
