A time-loop puzzle platformer

AFTERSELF

Team up with your past self

Each loop lasts just a few seconds. When it ends, time rewinds and your echo repeats exactly what you did. Plan across time, team up with yourself and clear the way to the exit.

How it plays

One loop. One echo. One new idea.

01

Play the loop

You've got a few seconds: run, jump, press plates and pull levers.

02

Rewind

Time snaps back and the world resets… but now your echo replays every step you took.

03

Team up with yourself

Your echoes hold doors and plates while you reach the exit. Fewer loops, more stars.

Echoes

Your past is on your team

Every recorded loop becomes an echo that replays your moves to the pixel. Step on a plate now so the door stays open in the next loop.

  • Echoes press plates, block lasers and become stepping stones.
  • A deterministic world: what you record is what happens.
  • Retrying a loop is free. No frustration.
Level 3-2 “Tower”: three of the player's echoes team up to open the door

Anchor

Stop time whenever you want

Hold Anchor to end the loop at just the right moment: your echo freezes where you left it, holding whatever needs holding.

  • Timed doors and plates only your present self can press.
  • Solid echoes: build towers out of yourself.
  • Paradoxes: never shut the door on your own past.
Level 4-5 “Afterself”: the recorded paths of every echo under an eclipse
