Major update6 Jun 2026Milestone Update (1.1.0)Fellow explorers, Patch 1.1.0 marks a special milestone update for Causal Loop and introduces our first challenge experience: Orbital Edge Case. We've heard feedback from some players looking for a greater challenge, and pushed many of the game's mechanics further than we ever dared during the main campaign. What exactly makes Orbital Edge Case different? We could explain it in writing, but app…
Fellow explorers, Since launch, we’ve been reading a wide range of player feedback about Causal Loop, including discussions around how the game’s narrative pacing interacts with exploration and puzzle solving. Causal Loop was always built as a narrative-driven puzzle adventure, with dialogue, character development, cinematics, and environmental storytelling as part of its core. That being said,…
Fellow explorers, We’re planning a special livestream on our Discord server to showcase a very early in-development alpha build of Causal Loop. The build we’ll be showing is roughly three years old and comes from a much earlier stage of development, long before the final structure, visuals, pacing, and many of the gameplay systems had fully taken shape. A lot of what you’ll see is unfinished, e…
Fellow explorers, Update 1.0.4 mainly introduces a handful of new optional settings for players who prefer a more customized experience. Some HUD elements can now be adjusted further, and we’ve added new accessibility features that let you fine-tune how forgiving the game is when Bale dies. You might also notice some changes in the Chapter Select menu, where we’ve added a new UI element in prep…
Fellow explorers, We’ve just rolled out a small hotfix addressing a rather elusive issue that slipped in with Update 1.0.3. A specific checkpoint removal unintentionally made it impossible to leave a secret area. That has now been resolved, and the area should behave as intended again. Alongside that, we’ve included a few minor collision fixes across the game. Nothing major this time, just smoo…
Fellow explorers, With Update 1.0.3, we had a look at a wide range of smaller issues and rough edges that could sometimes get in the way of a smooth experience. Controller input should now behave the way you expect it to. A few confusing progression moments have been cleaned up - and some interactions that felt a bit… stubborn have been convinced to behave the way they should. We're specificall…
Fellow explorers, The Causal Loop Soundtrack is now available! Tor-Ulsat has a way of staying with you. Its silence, its tension, its fleeting moments of clarity. This soundtrack lets you return to those feelings whenever you want, carrying pieces of Bale, Walter, and Jen’s journey beyond the game. Spanning a total runtime of 50 minutes, the soundtrack features 22 tracks, including pieces that…
Fellow explorers, we heard you loud and clear. While this update addresses a range of smaller issues, quality-of-life frustrations, and a few lingering glitches, it also tackles one of the most requested improvements: a smoother dialogue flow. With Update 1.0.2, we’ve significantly reduced the amount of time your movement is restricted during dialogue. Our original approach aimed to prevent ove…
Fellow explorers, We’ve just rolled out Update 1.0.1 for Causal Loop. This update addresses a handful of smaller issues and is intended to make your journey through Tor-Ulsat as smooth as possible. You’ll find the full list of changes in the patch notes below: Thanks for playing and for your continued feedback! · The motion blur setting should now be properly taken into account during chapters…

Hey there fellow explorers, we hope you are doing well. Well, we definitely are, because recently we gave some members of the press the opportunity to get a comprehensive first impression of Causal Loop based on a preview version. And we are really very pleased with the feedback! IGN's Will Borger played the preview and also conducted an interview with us and both resulted in an almost 10-minut…
Festive greetings fellow explorers, And suddenly it's the end of December, even though yesterday was still January ... It's true, the year 2025 is actually almost over. Crazy, isn't it? But it definitely was an exciting year! We had already been working on Causal Loop for several years before we were finally able to officially announce it in the spring live on stage at GameStar's 'Find Your Nex…
Hey there fellow explorers, Sorry for the radio silence from our end over the last weeks, but we are busy working to make Causal Loop experience possible. Most recently, for example, we finished recording the English voiceovers, which we will tell you more about and show you soon. Stay tuned! But today we're going to focus on a different topic. If you've already tried out the Causal Loop demo,…
Happy Friday fellow explorers, we have some good news for you today: as off now you can try out the echo-based puzzle mechanics of Causal Loop for yourself with a demo: It includes a custom tutorial that gradually teaches you the basics of the mechanics you need. Also a slice of a mid-game level to introduce some of the puzzles that will be seen in the full release. Overall, depending on your s…
Fellow explorers, With only three of us working on this game, every detail you'll get to see has to earn its place in our own hearts as well. This time, we want to take you deeper into one of our worldbuilding efforts we’re especially proud of: the Tor. When we began designing the Tor, we wanted to create a civilization that felt lived in. One that could have risen, thrived, and ultimately coll…
Fellow explorers, gamescom was an unforgettable week for us, and that’s thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth to play the Causal Loop gamescom demo. And you didn’t just play. You experimented, discovered paths we hadn’t expected, and pushed the limits of our puzzles in ways that made us go "wait, what?". We’re humbled (and still a bit shaken) from all the positive feedback. Since we did…
Hey everyone, We just wrapped up a new video that gives you a closer look at how Causal Loop plays. This deep dive showcases the core puzzle mechanics, the Echo branching system, and how you'll be interacting with the ancient alien tech left behind by the Tor. We’re also teasing some early story beats and how Bale’s role as an exo-archeologist ties directly into gameplay: Development is moving…
