About This Game

Overview

LOOP THE LOOP - The Mansion of Gluttony is a closed-circle mystery visual novel in which ten young people are trapped inside a Western-style mansion and drawn into a series of murders, slowly uncovering both the truth behind the killings and the true nature of the “mansion” itself.

Endless, dull days.
“I wish I could escape from this world.”

A strange, dreamlike mansion where “you can have anything you want.”
Welcomed by eleven others who have been gathered there just like him,
Remi spends his time in carefree happiness.

“Maybe I really can live here as a new version of myself.”

It feels like those peaceful, pleasant days will go on forever.
However, that illusion comes to an abrupt end one day—

• Carin – A freelance web designer. Bright, considerate, and the natural mood-maker of the group.
