Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking open-ended gameplay may find the 20-minute loop structure restrictive

- Players looking for a long campaign may find the approximately 6–8-hour completion time short
Our take on Complex Loop
The defining structure is a repeated 20-minute mission in which past-and-future travel, puzzle solving, and memory-based battles gradually expose the cause of a fatal explosion.
What is Complex Loop?
Complex Loop is a science-fiction visual novel about traveling between the past and future to rescue Eltea, a girl who died in an explosion one year earlier.
Each loop gives Rain Climber 20 minutes to explore, gather information from non-player characters, use items and hints, and solve puzzles. Battles require memorizing image shapes and interpreting numerical clues. The story unfolds through multiple perspectives as Rain investigates the accident and faces enemies that appear to anticipate her intentions. Help Mode and hints are available during difficult stages. The game takes approximately 6–8 hours to complete and presents its main story with Japanese voice acting.
