The Loop I Made

“A broken day, a circuit of emotions on repeat.” An emotional loop-based puzzle game where you try to break the routine that you built yourself into. Make small changes, one by one - until eventually, they change you."

 You wake up alone. Again. A messy room. The same day, repeating. And in one corner, a shadowy figure repeats every action you’ve done before. He’s nothing but the echo of your past routine. 

Will you do the same again—or will you choose something different? 

Drink? Avoid? Clean up the mess? 

Your small decisions stack up, slowly building toward a moment when the loop might finally break. 

This isn’t a game about numbers or high scores. It’s a puzzle about confronting your own emotions. 

There are no saves. No checkpoints. Because recovery isn’t a one-time save—it’s something you rebuild, one choice at a time. 

Tips 

In your first loop, you don’t get to choose. You’ll naturally follow your past habits. The shadow figure in the room mirrors exactly what you did before. Interacting with positive objects will gradually restore your space and your emotions.  As the loops repeat, you’ll start to realize the power of your choices.

Notes
