About the Game

In One More Round you step into the boots of an alcoholic engineer aboard a space station orbiting a black hole. Tasked with investigating the mysteries of the blackhole, your choices set you on a time-looping adventure. Each loop reveals subtle changes in the station, your surroundings and yourself, as the black hole’s effects warp reality and time.

Features

A Time-Looping Narrative: Experience the consequences of your decisions as each loop subtly alters the station, the mission and the story.

Immersive Sci-Fi Mystery: Uncover the truth about your mission, the black hole and your past in a setting inspired by hard sci-fi concepts.

Evolving Environment: From subtle colour shifts to critical environmental changes, the space station evolves as you progress.

Gameplay

One More Round is a narrative-driven time loop game set aboard a failing space station. Players take on the role of an alcoholic astronaut grappling with personal failure as they attempt to uncover what lead to the time loop. The game combines immersive storytelling with puzzle-solving and exploration, challenging players to uncover the mysteries of the station and their character's past in each loop. Each loop offers subtle changes—such as altered asset colors or item placements—that grow more dramatic over time, reflecting the character’s increasing despair and the environment's degradation. Players must make strategic decisions, repair systems, and piece together clues to break the loop. With a focus on atmospheric tension and player-driven discovery, One More Round delivers a unique blend and narrative and mechanics in a lo-fi sci-fi setting.

With an lo-fi soundtrack consisting of over 30 original songs, and an emotional narrative, One More Round is a thought-provoking experience that explores redemption, sacrifice and the relentless pull of the unknown.

Will you break the cycle? One More Round could make all the difference.
