About this game
Some parts of the world are enchanted with timeloop magic. After several steps, you'll be sent back to where you entered. Discover the rules of the world and see how far they can take you.
Every puzzle is handcrafted to teach you a new rule about the world. There's no filler or chores, just a pure rule-discovery metroidBRAINIA experience.
Your progress is only limited by your knowledge, not by artificial unlocks. What seemed impossible before might just need a second look. Yes, you could have done that the entire time!
Key Features:
Unique Puzzle Design - Solve puzzles by manipulating local timeloops in creative ways.
Knowledge-based Progression - Explore a world where your only limit is what you know.
Secrets & meta puzzles - Think outside the box to solve layered, interconnected puzzles.
Play at your own pace - Use the interactive hints, restart the puzzle whenever you want, save and load the game at any time.

Since then we've added a map, puzzle hints to guide you, Cloud Saves, and a lot more!Timebound is a puzzle adventure focused on exploration, discovery, and uncovering mysteries through observation and connecting dots. We want the world to feel full of moments that make you stop and think: “Wait… was that always there?”We’re a small indie team made up of Michał Kluz, Patrycja Sagan-Kluz, and Fabien Calabria, and we’re incredibly excited to finally start sharing more of the game with you.
