Tyler is a tenth-grade student who is passionate about geohunting, a game where participants use GPS coordinates to find treasure hidden in caches. While searching for a cache one day, Tyler and his friends are caught in a time loop where the same day repeats itself without end. As they explore the loop, they meet another group of people in the same predicament who call themselves "loopers". Together, the two groups try to escape the loop and return to normality.
Loopers is a science fiction-themed kinetic novel, a type of visual novel without branching story paths or alternate endings. However, it has all the other features one would expect of a visual novel, including the ability to advance through text manually or automatically. It also features full voice acting for all characters.
