Dark Loop is a minimalist puzzle game where one room repeats, but the rules change. Players think creatively, break logic, and experiment to solve levels.
This is a minimalist puzzle game with a time loop. The game features endless loops within a single frame, with unchanging objects and obstacles, but each playthrough is different. You play as a stickman in a dark room with a single door and a few basic details, but the way to escape each room almost doesn't follow any fixed logical rules.
Find a way to open the door in the room to advance to the next level. However, the trick lies in the fact that although the setting, layout, and objects in the room remain almost unchanged, the way to open the door in each level is completely different. In some levels, you simply press a switch in the usual way, but in other levels, the same switch requires a different action, even going against your familiar gameplay habits.
The game boasts 109 levels, each designed as a unique thought trap, forcing players to observe, experiment, and deduce hidden rules that the game doesn't explain or guide directly.
Although each level has a nearly identical layout with a room, a door, and a switch, the way to open the door changes completely from level to level. Sometimes you only need to press the switch once, sometimes you have to press it multiple times in sequence, and some levels even force players to perform actions outside the game, such as rotating the screen or doing illogical things.
The gameplay goes beyond simply moving and jumping over obstacles; it forces players to experiment with every possible interaction in the room, even seemingly insignificant details. Many levels require you to change your perspective, perform actions outside the game, or reason in ways completely different from conventional logic. Each experimental action is a way for players to discover hidden rules and find the solution.
