Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused action may find the puzzle-platforming structure too centered on obstacle solving

- Players looking for a conventional, serious dystopian story may not suit the game's comic details and strange encounters
Our take on Overloop
Instead of treating the protagonist as a single irreplaceable avatar, the game turns self-sacrifice into a puzzle tool. Clone creation, simultaneous copies, and deliberately lethal hazards replace the usual one-character route through platforming challenges.
What is Overloop?
Overloop is a puzzle-platformer set in a dystopian future disrupted by a cloning device.
Playing as the inventor of the technology, the protagonist carries a cloning gun through a world shaped by clone-related chaos. Copies of the character can be created and used to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles, with up to four clones active at once. These duplicates may also be sacrificed through hazards such as fire, crushing machinery, and other dangerous situations. The game includes strange encounters involving artificial intelligence, cults, modified corn, and cloned pandas. Its story also raises questions about whether sacrificing a clone is preferable to risking the original character. A mustache is included as a cosmetic character detail.
