Death Loop
About Death Loop
Have you ever played a game where you die, then die again… then again—but it's the point? Yeah, that’s Death Loop. I found it on itch.io, gave it a spin, and next thing I knew, I was trapped in a tiny pixel room with a ticking clock and no clue what to do.
What Is Death Loop?
It’s a short indie puzzle game where you're caught in—you guessed it—a time loop. You wake up in this room, everything looks kinda retro and minimal, and there’s this sense that something’s off. You poke around, try stuff, then... boom. Time’s up. You die.
But the trick is: every time you come back, you remember what happened before. So each loop isn’t a reset—it’s a step forward. You:
Figure out which doors are traps
Learn which choices buy you time
Discover items or clues to progress
Slowly piece together how to break the cycle
Why Did I Keep Playing?
Honestly? It’s the loop. I had to know what I was missing. The game gives you just enough each time to make you feel smart—without spoon-feeding anything.
The puzzles are tight. No fluff, just brain-twisting trial-and-error.
It respects your time. Rounds are short, but every second counts.
The vibe is eerie but cool. Like you’re in some 8-bit limbo.
How Do You Beat It?
Well… I’m not spoiling anything. But here’s what helped me:
Pay attention. Everything in the room matters.
Experiment. Yeah, you're gonna die a lot. That’s the point.
Don’t rush. Sometimes, standing still says more than a click.
Think backwards. What did I not try last time?

Final Thoughts
Death Loop isn’t flashy, but man, it’s smart. It messes with your head just enough to keep you hooked. It’s like playing Groundhog Day with puzzles—and somehow, dying never felt so satisfying.
If you’re into quirky, thoughtful games that make you feel clever (after a lot of dumb mistakes), give Death Loop a shot. Just… don’t get too attached to your first life.
