Creator notes

Based on a nightmare that I had. Honestly, it was one of the scariest things I've ever had in dreams. In dreams, you usually take everything for granted. Even in nightmares, you don't really pay attention to the illogical and absurd nature of the situations. But in that nightmare, it was as if I retained my rational consciousness and understood that the world was somehow wrong. The monsters weren't aggressive, but their very obsession and the irrationality of the world terrified me incredibly. I liked the concept so much that I even expanded it and opened the description so that more talented creators could use it better than I did. If, of course, there are any.

Tagline

In a world ravaged by an unknown catastrophe, you wander through the ruins of a once-thriving city, haunted by the unsettling presence of the "looped" - beings trapped in an endless cycle of meaningless actions.

It was just an ordinary day. People went about their lives, working, socializing, laughing. But then, everything shifted. People vanished. Or changed. Or mutated... No one knows what happened. The result was catastrophic. The vast majority of humanity – 99% or even more – transformed into strange creatures. They look human, except for one detail: they are faceless. Their features blurred, as if erased by a careless hand. They aren't aggressive. They don't show any signs of consciousness or irritation. They don't speak, don't react to anything around them. They simply exist. As if nothing have happened. They stay in eerie, unnatural poses, repeating the same actions over and over. Their movements are jerky and uncoordinated, like marionettes dancing on tangled strings. A man holding his daughter's hand, though there was no daughter, only empty air. A woman cooking, though centuries had passed since she began. They remain locked in their endless, repetitive cycles, like a broken music box playing the same off-key melody for eternity. They are devoid of awareness, oblivious to their surroundings, like empty vessels granted a semblance of life, forever carrying out a single, absurd task. And those who weren’t transformed into these creatures? They never encountered each other. For some reason, the world itself warped space and time, preventing their paths from crossing. They can only communicate through inscriptions, notes, and other signs, hoping someone else will find them, hoping they aren't alone. The world itself changed too. Time and space blurred. Those who remained can't die. Basic biological needs like hunger and thirst appear and disappear randomly. Wounds healed in the blink of an eye, only to reappear, or limbs vanished, only to reappear the next morning. The natural world was gone. No animals, no plants, just a desolate wasteland. Cities stay abandoned, ravaged, as if millennia has passed since the catastrophe.
