About the Game

Loopbound is a narrative incremental game where you play as a traveller trapped in a time loop. Each cycle brings you a little closer to unravelling the mystery of your existence as you explore different eras and dimensions and make choices that shape your path.

In each cycle you gather resources, face decay and survival, and unlock new actions and worlds. What you achieve in one cycle carries over to the next, so each run takes you further. The story unfolds through the places you visit and the events you encounter along the way.

Key features:

  • Loops with persistent progression: Die, respawn, and try again; permanent upgrades and unlocked automation carry over between cycles.

  • Survival and decay: Manage hunger, poison, and resources; time and your actions affect your condition and your options.

  • Multiple worlds: Journey through different worlds, each with its own rules and possibilities.

  • Skill system: Level up skills that speed up actions and unlock new options.

  • Automation: After repeating tasks manually, you can automate them to progress while you plan your next move.

  • Integrated narrative: The story is built from world states, events, and the choices you make in each loop.

  • Cloud save: Your save syncs with Steam Cloud so you can continue on another device.

If you like incrementals with story and a touch of survival, Loopbound invites you to live the loop again and again until you discover what lies behind it.
