EMPTY SHELL: THE LOOP

EMPTY SHELL: THE LOOP will take you into The Loop, a secret facility built on a Japanese island in the middle of nowhere. Volunteers are forced to enter the eerie rooms of the complex, seemingly without an exit. But what is that massive door in one of the rooms? Is there perhaps a way to escape?

About the Game



EMPTY SHELL: THE LOOP is a different take on the gameplay of the original EMPTY SHELL.

You'll be thrown into The Loop, a secret facility built on a Japanese island in the middle of nowhere. Volunteers are forced to enter the eerie rooms of the complex, seemingly without an exit. But what is that massive door in one of the rooms? Is there perhaps a way to escape?



Followed by a top-down black-and-white camera, you will control a volunteer, and after their death, you will control another one, and another one. You will fight hordes of abominations to try to progress from room to room.



Unveil the secrets behind the construction of The Loop and the entire project. Unlock new weapons, suits, devices, and evolve the volunteer with new perks to increase your chances of survival and perhaps succeed in escaping the facility.



  • Fight room after room against the abominations confined within the Loop
  • Purchase new equipment and create your favorite build
  • Unlock ever-new perks and evolve the volunteer to increase your chances of survival
  • Earn credits and transfer them before dying to support future volunteers
  • Upgrade your weapons during the run and increase your firepower
  • Access the terminals and uncover the dark motives behind the creation of the Loop
