This is a game where you play as the eternal subject, God. 

I have purchased and played this game and would highly reccomend. A massive trip, especially when playing with friends.

This game contains many strange loops, perhaps the most obvious one is...

This game allows you to zoom in and play as dust particles, bacteria, atoms, quarks. And it also allows you to zoom out and play as planets and galaxies.

If the player zooms in far enough, you actually end up zoomed out as far as possible. So, if you keep zooming into the atoms, you end up seeing planets and universes.

It's an infinite strange loop!

There's also a part of the game where you can play as a TV that is running the Everything Game on it! It's delightfully mind-twisting.

What do I see... Could it possibly be a conscious game? What a masterpiece!

This movie is the epitome of strange loops. I wonder how no one has cited it yet

By the end your mind will be completely blown

That is fucking amazing!

Now that's a proper strange loop!

Keep searching for more examples.

I want more strange loops! We need to have the biggest repository of strange loops on the planet here.

Haha, yeah. My mind enjoyed this one in a painful way.

Tried to figure out how was this technically made and ended up with loss of appetite and vomiting sensations ha.

I am experimenting with these kinds of things, it is inevitable that I will create some myself at some point. I do 3D art and vfx. We'll see how will it turn out.


These are also cool, not sure if strange loops, but it is borderland territory for sure. 100mcg less.

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Is light the absence of darkness or is darkness the absence of light?

Is death the cessation of life or is life the prelude to death?

Should you pour the milk or cereal first?

Is water because of steam or is steam because of water? 

 

 

When you see from far, you only see the tip of the iceberg, when you come close you see the iceberg but it's too late. 

When a problem is small, you ignore it because it's small, when the problem grows very big, you want to solve but it's impossible to solve

In the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,

there is a nice strange loop.

at some point in the game you travel 7 years forward in time. You meet a guy in a windmill who teaches you the song of storms, a song that if you play it it starts to rains outside. He says he learned it years ago from a young kid.

You can then travel back in time, and of course you are the kid who teaches the windmill guy the song of storms. But where did the song come from? Cant be from either you or the windmill guy since you teached it to each other. Yet the song exists.
