Back to Act 1

Published: Digital Lounge

Price: MSRP: $9.99
Rated: T (Mild Violence)
Genre: Adventure
Date Released: February 16, 2026

I played the original games (2018 and 2019) and LOVED THEM so much! Those games are the direct reason why I love these puzzle adventure games so much. It’s been a long time in the making and release, but it was well worth the wait! Often these series types of games skimp out on endings, but this was AMAZING!!! HIGH, HIGHLY recommended series! Fine details and fun quips are always big points of appreciation for me as a player and this does not disappoint. It’s best to play them in order as the quality greatly increases with each game and you need to know the first two to get the references in the last one to make it that much more enjoyable. I will eventually go back and write the first 2 guides, but here is the 3rd game (NOTE: there are plenty of guides on the internet and I usually save my guides for games that don’t have them, but I love these games so much that I’m going to just write them to show my support)

WARNING: This game’s autosave function isn’t the greatest, so if you want to save your game, make sure to back out the Menu

Break the Loop!

This was such a cool way to not only have the story with the looping phenomenon, but also to revisit and pay homage to the original games… Especially because this final part was 7 years in the making. I’ll definitely have to go back and not only play but make guides for the original games, too
