About the Game

As an engineer stuck in Limbo, you've noticed Hell could be far more comfortable with just a few... improvements. Unfortunately, the demonic residents disagree. Your only option: dig to the bottom and overthrow Satan himself.

THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS DOWN

Armed with your trusty pick-axe and an explosive arsenal, you must dig the hell out of Hell. Explore a world heavily inspired by Dante's Inferno, populated by the legendary characters and mythical creatures from the poem itself. Mine the terrain for valuable resources, but be prepared to die. A lot. Luckily, every time you die, you wake up in Limbo with all your gear intact. So dig, upgrade, and come back stronger until nothing can stand in your way.

UPGRADE TO GOD-LIKE POWER

Vicious Loop offers a huge range of upgrades that radically change how you play. Unlock new abilities, starting with essentials like dashing and air jumps, and escalating to game-changers like flight or smashing into the ground with explosive force. But that's just the beginning. Forge explosive, ricocheting bullets, construct a self-repairing exosuit, and find countless ways to exponentially increase your power. Smart choices will be the key to overcoming the unique challenges of each circle.

FIGHT YOUR WAY DOWN

Each circle of Hell is crawling with enemies who’d rather see you buried than pass through. Learn their attack patterns, exploit their weaknesses, and defeat epic bosses to descend further. Survive long enough, and you’ll face the ultimate showdown with Satan himself.
