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.
In addition, we have placed a major focus on accessibility to ensure that all players are able to enjoy Causal Loop. The game includes accessibility options such as motion sickness prevention, colour blindness mode, control mapping, and many more.

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
《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!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

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.
you gotta lock your 140 IQ in, enjoyed it a lot!
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 :)
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
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
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 :)
Absolutely stunning graphics and overall design! Lots of fun to play while figuring stuff out. Mostly impressed by the Echo Mechanic and how it works. 10/10 would recommend!
Pros: - Good pacing, never felt like a section was dragging on and new mechanics were introduced gradually - Varied puzzles - Great environment/art design - Story is engaging - The characters grew on me quite a bit, and the voice actor performances were great. Bale is a bit annoying at the start, but I think it serves a narrative purpose as he grows and gets less annoying throughout the story - Runs well, had one bug (clipped into a slope and got stuck) but wasn't able to replicate it and had no other issues Cons: - Some of the timing based puzzles are very strict, would be nice to have an option to extend time limits for things like buttons a bit - The symbols can be difficult to differentiate, which gets especially difficult in later levels when things are more spread out, it can be hard to find what a button even activated. Could maybe benefit from waypoints to things that activated out of view, and/or having numbers or something next to the symbols to tell them apart more easily - The jump is frustratingly short My complaints only became a problem in the final quarter of the game and were pretty minor, but still enough to create friction. I'm recommending it as I think the experience as a whole is good, but would like to see these things addressed. Overall great game, would love to see more from this team.
