Death Loop is a social deduction visual novel where players wake up in a weird school with nine others and learn a killer is present. The group is told to vote out the killer by a strange woman, but death brings them back to the beginning of the loop, repeating the nightmare.
The game combines murder mystery and competitive strategy from Danganronpa and Zero Escape. Each game is like Werewolf or Mafia, but with larger stakes—failure means eternal imprisonment. CC, who remembers loops, is the only ally, although she may not assist escape.
Players must find clues, understand the kidnapper, and stop the cycle before time runs out. The more they explore, the more they discover the game's dark secrets and themselves.
Instead of restarting after a conclusion, Death Loop cycles to build understanding. Each rejected vote reveals something about a character's identity or alibi. Repetition yields knowledge from these signals. Playing several loops reveals patterns and leads to the perpetrator if you pay attention.
