'Loop Hero' lets you control the apocalypse, not its savior

This simple but innovative RPG dangles hope in front of the player that maybe this time, things will be different.

Their latest game, Loop Hero, is no different — an RPG that has you controlling the world around the main character rather than playing as them.
