Sci-Fi Puzzle Game ‘UnLoop’ Launches PC VR Early Access Next Week
The retro-futuristic puzzle game UnLoop, centered around time manipulation and self-cooperation, will enter Early Access on Steam next week, developers announced today.
Published by CM Games and developed by Superposition NULL, UnLoop is set on the Temporal Research Hub, a remote space station where players create copies of themselves within time loops to solve puzzles and retrieve data. The game initially released on Quest and Pico platforms and the Steam launch aims to gather player feedback on optimization, graphics, and potential feature requests specific to PC VR. The growing popularity of VR puzzle games demonstrates a rising demand for innovative and challenging experiences within the medium.
The Early Access version will offer content parity with the standalone editions, with a Version 1.1 update planned for December that will introduce new puzzles and continue the game’s narrative. Initial hardware support includes Quest, Pico, and Valve Index headsets, with the developers stating they will explore compatibility with additional headsets and controllers based on community input.

Early impressions of UnLoop, as reported in UploadVR, highlighted its clever core concept but noted some areas for refinement. CM Games stated they are focused on addressing these rough edges through the Early Access process.
UnLoop is currently available on Quest and Pico, with the Steam Early Access launch scheduled for November 13th, and developers will continue to monitor feedback and implement improvements.
Retro-futuristic puzzler UnLoop reaches PC VR in early access next week.
Published by CM Games (Into the Radius) and developed by Superposition NULL, UnLoop is a sci-fi puzzle game built around self-cooperation and time manipulation that’s reminiscent of We Are One. Set on a remote space station called the Temporal Research Hub, you create copies of yourself each loop and replay your past actions in real time as you retrieve data.
Following its full release on Quest and Pico, CM Games has chosen early access on Steam to gather feedback about “optimization, player experience, graphics, and to address possible PCVR-related feature requests.” It still contains content parity with the standalone edition, and a Version 1.1 update is planned this December that promises new puzzles and a story continuation.
On the hardware side, UnLoop on Steam will initially support using Quest, Pico, and Valve Index headsets. A Steam FAQ confirms the developer will explore compatibility with additional headsets and controllers depending on community feedback, and PC VR visual improvements are also planned.
We had positive impressions in our UnLoop hands-on back in September, considering it a “clever self-co-op experience” held back by a “few rough edges.”
UnLoop looks to be a promising head-scratcher for players who love time-looping puzzles and self-orchestrated hijinks. Its core concept is compelling and clever, but a few rough edges keep it from being a standout recommendation just yet. With a bit of polish and hopefully some patches, this could be one to loop back to.
UnLoop is out now on Quest and Pico, and the Steam Early Access launch will follow on November 13.
