A Forgetful Loop

A Forgetful Loop is a worker-placement time puzzle game about a team of 14 scientists and engineers at Hope Labs trying to repair a broken time machine. As the clock counts down to zero, you assign the team tasks to fix the machine. When the countdown ends, the loop restarts, but some progress carries over.

The Hope Labs team set out to change the world, but the machine breaks and everything goes wrong. You work with the scientists and engineers to repair it and restore things to how they were before the accident. The game includes seven main groups and two additional groups added in the 2025 update.
