About this game
Deirdre enters a dark Irish Forest to seek her husband who was sworn to become its King. Why would he have married her then? She needs to talk to him and demand an explanation. But it’s not so easy for a human to go through the magical Forest, as those who inhabit it live by different rules. What will she learn about the other world? What will she find out about herself?
5 unique endings
As you progress through the story, your choices influence Deirdre's fate. You can replay the game to open all five unique endings – they are saved in the main menu for you to track.
Soaked in Irish mythology
Loop is based on Irish mythology off the beaten path. There are stories and characters from the olden beliefs, half-forgotten.
Irish literature references
One of the characters and some dialogues are inspired by heartbreakingly beautiful Seamus Heaney’s bog poetry. Loop also includes quotes from the cryptic ‘Finnegans Wake’ by James Joyce.
Dark fantasy forest setting
The game setting takes after the classical Bilibin’s fairytale illustrations that left a strong legacy for the art that accompanies those stories today.
You get to talk to the Tree
Among all the quirky characters you meet, you will definitely have your favourites. But it's not that frequent you get to talk to a tree. And not just any tree, but The Tree. Will it think the way humans do? Will it participate in mortals' fates?
Loop is based on ancient Irish mythology with the folk of the sidhe, the main roads of Ireland and how they came to be, and shapeshifters. There are modern myths from the works of Seamus Heaney and James Joyce, too. You don't have to know anything about any of that to enjoy the game. Myths have many shapes and are retold again and again through the lands and generations. This is one of those retellings, with something new and something old weaved into the tapestry of fates.
Loop has a classic visual novel gameplay for effortless immersion in the story. This is a short game for your perfect evening on your own.
