Story

Tyler is a high school student passionate about geohunting—treasure hunting using GPS.

One day during summer vacation, he happens to reunite with classmates from elementary school. While playing the game together, they become caught up in inexplicable phenomena.

The apparition of a girl from an urban legend. Friends falling into confusion and madness. Reality and illusion intersect. Tomorrow becomes today.

Every time 24 hours pass, “today” resets.

They have been swallowed by a supernatural phenomenon called the “vortex of time,” trapping them in a fate that endlessly repeats August 1.

There they meet other boys and girls who are also “loopers”: their leader Simon, and Mia, a girl with a mysterious air.

They try to join forces to escape this eternal prison, but—.

What is a kinetic novel?

LOOPERS is a kinetic novel—an electronic novel presented through text, graphics, music and voices.

There are no story branches determined by choices. Read through the story as if watching an anime or a film, or turning the pages of a novel.

Comfortable controls create an environment that makes it easy to become immersed without feeling conscious of operating the game.

Beautiful visuals, moving music, varied and immersive presentation, and a fully voiced story performed by a cast of popular voice actors all bring this quality story to life.

Full versions of three vocal songs

The game contains the full versions of the three vocal songs featured on the Soundtrack & Vocal Song CD that originally accompanied the limited PC edition: “Fukaki Yumemishi,” “Senya Ichiya VORTEX” and “Kimi to no Takara Sagashi.”

After finishing the story, you can listen to them through MUSIC under EXTRAS in the title menu.

The event CG illustrations added to the Nintendo Switch version are also included.

Text in three languages

The text supports Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese. Voices are fully voiced in Japanese only.

Settings and the digital manual also support all three languages. You can instantly switch the displayed language at any time during play.
