About
Exo-archaeologist Bale arrives on Tor Ulsat with his colleague Jen, an exo-linguist, to study the ruins of the lost Tor civilisation. But when he unwittingly activates the Chronolith - an ancient alien device - reality shatters. Jen vanishes, and Bale is trapped in a fractured world where time loops and echoes of the past and future bleed together.
With no way to contact mission control, Bale must navigate countless obstacles, unravel the fate of the Tor, and outwit the cryptic and mysterious forces that oppose him. As reality unravels and truth remains buried in the ruins, Bale's only hope is to solve the mystery of the Tor - before he's lost to the loop forever.

Record, re-record, and replay. Use the signature 'Echo Branching' mechanic to record your actions and engage with up to three echoes of your past self. Harness these duplicates to skillfully learn to manipulate ancient alien systems that once seemed impossible to navigate.

Explore beautiful environments through fifteen hand-crafted chapters filled with secrets that will allow you to unravel the mystery of this alien planet.

Explore a mysterious alien planet through the lens of an emotional and thought-provoking story, with the puzzles always supporting the momentum of the underlying narrative.

Every character is fully voiced by a fantastic cast.

The graphics and the sci-fi setting combined with the mystery made me buy this. But I'm not convinced, now when I've tried it. The dialogue is pretty mediocre. The characters talk too much, and they try to be funny when they shouldn't. They ruin the mood and the atmosphere of the game. On top of that, there are a couple of other things that reveal that this is a cheap production (in a bad way). First, the devs have cleary not tested this game with global illumination set to "high". The environment turns pitch black, and it was completely unplayable. Second, the cutscenes make it obvious that they had one 3D model of a human in a space suit, and couldn't even make the effort to model a proper head without the helmet. Third, the use of teleporters everywhere... They seem to be the cheapest attempt I've ever seen to hide a loading screen. Not only do they make you disoriented, but they chop up the entire experience in tiny pieces and make everything feel like a random collection of scenes. Only because they had to sell the graphics and couldn't pay a decent programmer to fix the technical limitations. The difficulty of the puzzles increases as you progress, but not in a clever way. They only become larger, spread out over a larger area, and more maze-like. Add the annoyance with the teleporters to that, and you'll have a really bad experience.
Spielzeit: ca. 14 Stunden Positiv: - Packende Story bis zum Schluss - Interessante Charaktere, die gut geschrieben sind - Supergute deutsche Synchro - AAA-Synchronsprecher, ungewöhnlich für einen Indie-Titel - Schwierige, aber nicht zu schwere Rätsel - Wiederspielwert durch Entscheidungen in der Story - Speedrun-Features implementiert Negativ: - Feste Speicherpunkte
Ich finde dieses Spiel ist ein Juwel. Die Grafik ist Klasse und die Dialogtexte haben mich immer wieder zum Lachen gebracht und auch zum Grübeln. Es gibt viel zu entdecken und einige Hintergrundgeschichten, und viele persönliche Notizen zu vielen Sachen. xD Die Rätsel sind gut zu lösen und laden zum ausprobieren ein, um eigene Challenges zu probieren. Mir hat das Spiel sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich kann es mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen.
好玩,累。或许加入地图会让玩家轻松点,靠记忆力在脑子里构图玩的人恶心
Meine Freu und ich haben zeitglich an 2 Rechnern gespielt und schonmal die ersten Puzzles gelöst :D Sehr cooles Spiel, das wir ja schon auf der Gamescom antesten konnten. Die Sprachausgabe, die musikalische Untermalung, die Puzzles - ein rundum stimmiges, spaßiges Spiel :) Freeue mich auf die nächste Spielsession :)
Tolles Puzzlegame :) Ich fand schon die Demo auf der Gamescom, und dann später auch hier auf Steam toll und bin schon gespannt, wie es weitergeht und ob ich es schaffe, mich bis zum ende durchzurätseln :)
《Causal Loop》(因果循环)是一款单人合作平台解谜游戏……你没看错,本作的核心机制围绕“Echo Branching(回声分支)”展开,所谓单人合作,就是记录自身的行动,与过去的自己协同合作、破解谜题。我们将扮演和搭档“珍”一同溯源古老信号、却在碰触不明装置后陷入困境的考古学家贝尔,在人工智能沃尔特的陪伴下遵从神秘声音的指示不断前进,直到找出深埋于过去的真相…… 如前文所说,本作的卖点就是“与自己合作”,通过留下如同“录像”一般的回声来进行放下桥梁、打开大门等操作,从而前往那些凭单人无法到达的地方。不过回声并不能随处制造,而是要在固定区域内的光球中进行。此外,本体和回声相撞时双方都会受到伤害,本体血量条没到危险值的话问题倒不大,但辛苦录制的回声却会粉碎消失,这就对我们的路线规划与时机把控能力提出了考验。 游戏中的配音情感非常充沛,既没有捧读的平淡无味也没有用力过猛,这点必须表扬一下。本地化工作相当出色,“不入虎穴,焉得虎子”等谚语的使用让人倍感亲切,同时人物性格设定也十分饱满,男主和人工智能沃尔特在珍还在时就会经常斗嘴,珍消失后一人一机这对欢喜冤家更是相互吐槽了一路,让解谜的旅途也不显得那么枯燥。 总体而言,《Causal Loop》是一款制作精良的第一人称解谜游戏,优化做得很好,哪怕是轻薄本也能流畅运行愉快玩耍,大赞!

having recently read three body problem I love the mystery and puzzle aspect of the game thus far while also combining ancient civilization with future technology. It keeps me wanting more
Un vçideo vale mas que mil palabras............. https://youtu.be/uAsEwd3qrpI Una buena historia de ciencia ficcion con interesantes puzzles de copias. Todo ello con una muy buena ambientacion es lo que nos ofrece Causal Loop. Darle una oportunidad
Wow, not gonna lie this game exceeded my expectations really good puzzle game with Returnal & Titanfall 2 vibes and puzzles mostly talos/portal inspired there was diffrent polish game SPLIT which was also about manipulating own clones and timing them story was excelent, really liked it and did 3 endings soundtrack and sound design was absolute top aswell some late puzzles were really hard to solve though, very complex stuff since chapter 11 onwards tbh i was bit exhausted in the last 2 chapters especially last one but content in entire game was excelent anyways game length was really 12-15 hours one of best puzzle narrative games i ever played, very well done!
