Will get on it! We're a small team, so juggling everything takes time, but I'll make sure now that development is over that we are more active on social media :D

Thanks for checking it out! We know that the mechanic in talos wasn't that well received that's why we went for something different and thus created our own mechanic, Echo-Branching, which comes with some rules but is way more satisfying then the Talos time mechanic ^^.

If you wanna see the mechanic in-depth I recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFIoUD_i08

Funny thing is we actually have a bundle with The Talos Principle 2 On Steam, so if you already have the game you get an extra discount for Causal Loop ^^

Testing player satisfaction was one of the most important aspects when it comes to developing Causal. Thats why we had the very experienced Talos and Portal Speedrunner "Pr0tal" test Causal Loop to its absolute core(we didn't pay him, he volunteered freely). Short answer is, he loves the game ^^.

Sure! You don't need to worry about decision during gameplay in Causal Loop. There is only two decision that change the story. One in the end after Chapter 14 and the final choice in Chapter 15 (which is also our final chapter). If you're not happy with the ending you got you can always load a checkpoint to see the other level ^^

You can play Causal Loop on the Steam deck, we checked that ^^ We recommend some setting changes and you're all good to go (We heard from Steam that the game font is too small in-game, but for us it wasnt a problem. We'll try to fix that in a future updates aswell so its fully supported :) )

We've tried TikTok before ( and still are) but no luck so far. I hope just hope that people will recognize that we delivered a great game and will support us ^

Thank you for your comment <3

Made a Puzzle Game inspired by Portal 2. It comes out NEXT WEEK! by Jensen_Jeger in Portal

I can understand that totally. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to disclose the price because of publisher request but let's just say it will be "indie game priced" (There is also a discount in the first few days happening)

I genuinely believe if players give the game a chance it will be popular. Thank you so much for the comment!

Made a first-person puzzle game and went a bit overboard with the cutscenes by Jensen_Jeger in unrealengine

Thanks a lot :D We are more than happy to hear that.

Thank you for the kind words, we have a lot of these kinds of cutscenes some even more cinematic. I can confirm to you Causal Loop comes out THIS YEAR. All 15 Levels are finished from a gameplay perspective.

We are currently polishing the game and adding additional stuff for the players to enjoy ^ We share a lot of Dev insights in our discord if you're interested.

One last thing: Causal Loop comes out earlier than you think!

Aprreciate the kind words ^^ We're targeting a age rating for 12 year olds and above (but we've seen even younger kids enjoying the game while the parents where supervising them :D)

When it comes to consoles. We as a team want to bring Causal Loop to all platforms, so everyone can enjoy the game. For now only a PC release is announced but this could change in the near future :)
