The Story
When you signed the contract, you thought you were joining a research-driven peacekeeping force. The recruitment posters promised “stability across all timelines” and “a chance to save humanity.” What they didn’t mention was the constant world-hopping through collapsing realities or the fact that agents were legally dead and erased from their home timelines to prevent “temporal conflicts of interest.”
The agency operates like a corporate dictatorship disguised as a scientific institute: white halls, sterile labs, and smiling supervisors who never sleep. Noncompliance means reintegration, which an agent has never returned from.
The Mission
Contain a surge of outbreaks across 4 unstable worlds. Hunt down interdimensional monsters mutated by a reality-virus that tears through entire worlds, before they reach the Main Timeline. Every infection means another planet rendered uninhabitable, another nightmare creature cataloged for the agency's experiments. The virus isn’t just biological... it rewrites physics, mutating ecosystems and bending laws of nature until reality snaps.
Early Access & Community Development
Why Early Access?
We want DARKLOOPERS to have community-driven development. We love considering and implementing ideas from the community and intend it to be developed this way entirely. It allows us to have immediate feedback to what players like and dislike, what they would like to see more of and what maybe doesn't quite work as intended. It helps us to introduce new changes and get immediate, direct feedback in to whether an item is overpowered, for example.
How long will EA last?
We intend to be in Early Access for a couple of years, however, this may fluctuate in either direction depending on community feedback.
How will EA differ from the full version?
The full version of DARKLOOPERS is planned to have additional content, some of which influenced by community feedback from the Early Access version of the game. There will also be lots of performance fixes, bug fixes and various other changes. We also intend DARKLOOPERS to have much more lore and story content, but this is subject to change depending on community feedback.
What is the current state of the EA version?
The Early Access version has the content and features described on the 'About/Description' sections of the store pages.

DISCLAIMERS
DARKLOOPERS is a passion project started by a solo developer. I will listen to and consider all feedback good or bad. But, remember that I am a human, so please keep all feedback kind and constructive.
DARKLOOPERS will NOT contain micro-transactions (MTX), paid lootboxes or battlepasses of any kind. A one-time payment will grant access to all content in the game. However, there may be future free or paid DLC, although nothing has been planned and will not be considered until the full game is finished.
DARKLOOPERS is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
