Talisman Loop
The spirits are cursed, trapped in rooms where time loops endlessly.
In Talisman Loop, you play as cursed spirits, reliving the same space over and over. Use mystical talismans to record your past echoes, solve puzzles, and complete the ritual to break free.
Each room is a riddle. Each echo is a helping hand.
Can you return to where it all began... before the cycle repeats again?
Controls
※ Move: Arrow Keys
※ End movement: E
※ Restart Level: R
How to Play
※ Each level gives you a limited number of talismans.
※ A talisman is consumed automatically the moment you start moving.
※ Once activated, a countdown number appears above your spirit.
※ When the timer reaches zero (or E to end movement), your past echo will retrace your actions from that loop.
※ Activate all faint footprint marks and return to the starting point to complete the level.
※ Echoes can trigger pressure plates but does not activate footprints.
※ If you run out of talismans before completing the level, the ritual fails, and the level must be restarted.
