About the Game

They locked up the wrong man. Or... men?

You are Hyde, a clone created through a failed experiment that left him with fragmented personalities inside his head. After being framed and locked inside a top-secret prison facility, Hyde discovers an impossible power: he can manifest those personalities as real, solid clones.

Every time you create a clone, time snaps back to the start of the loop. Your past self then replays everything you did: every step, jump, button press, and interaction.

The voices are no longer just in your head. They are your crew.

Every move becomes the plan your next clone will follow.

Clone and watch your past self repeat your actions.

Use clones as decoys to distract guards and slip past CCTV.

Coordinate with your past selves to clear puzzles no single prisoner could solve alone.

Plan. Reset. Escape.

Loophole: The Prison Break is a 3D puzzle-platformer where your past selves become part of your next escape plan. Record your actions, reset the loop, and work alongside your clones to break through prison puzzles that one Hyde could never solve alone.

Features

  • Team Up With Your Past Selves
    Create clones that follow your recorded actions, letting you coordinate routes, buttons, switches, and timing-based escapes.

  • Solve Puzzles Built for Clones
    Pressure plates, timed buttons, levers, keycards, doors, and hazards all require careful coordination between Hyde and his past selves.

  • Outsmart Prison Security
    Distract guards, slip past CCTV cameras, and use your clones as bait while the real Hyde finds another way through.

  • Weaponize Your Past
    Your clones are physical. Use them as stepping stones, counterweights, blockers, distractions, or tools for reaching places Hyde cannot reach alone.

  • Escape Through Handcrafted Levels
    Play through carefully designed prison stages that introduce new mechanics, combine old ones, and test your ability to think across multiple timelines.

  • Discover Hyde’s Story
    Follow Hyde’s story through cutscenes and in-game dialogue.

  • Experiment Without Friction
    Use undo, restart, fast-forward, controller support, and rebindable keys to keep puzzle-solving smooth.
