Quantum Loop

Quantum Loop is a non-linear space exploration adventure set in an open world and built around a time loop. Asteroids are overrunning the quadrant, and you must learn enough to stop the crisis before they overwhelm you. If an asteroid hits you, the run ends, but you keep the knowledge you gained and can use it in the next attempt. There is no explicit quest log, so you explore and work out how to tackle the challenges yourself.

Explore the quadrant

As you explore, you meet characters with interwoven quests and choose how to pursue their objectives. You can lie to or betray other characters, help an astronaut in need or keep your supplies for your mission. The game leaves you free to explore and complete objectives in different ways.

Use what you find

Every objective has multiple solutions, and nearly every item has more than one purpose. You might buy a laser rifle to break up asteroids or save your credits and rely on your zero-g flying skills. Learning across runs helps you find new ways to complete your objectives and stop the asteroid crisis.

Challenges and retries

After completing the main game, you can continue exploring for new ways to complete your mission. The game includes one-hit death and repeated retries as core parts of play, and expects you to lose several times before winning. An easy mode roughly halves the time pressure.
