Deathloop (Video Game)	comment	DEATHLOOP is a Roguelite First-Person Shooter Immersive Sim, developed by Arkane Studios Lyon team for PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows PCs, and later released on the Xbox Series X\|S.You play as Colt, a Professional Killer trapped in a "Groundhog Day" Loop on the mysterious island of Blackreef, where Colt and the island's villainous inhabitants hunt one another endlessly in an unending 'party' of debauchery and violence. Using your growing Hyperspace Arsenal of weapons and supernatural abilities, you'll need to take out the 8 "Visionaries" ruling the stunning, chaotic island before the day resets in order to break the loop once and for all. By far the most dangerous Visionary is Julianna, a rival assassin whose sole mission is to take Colt out and keep the loop going... and the thing is, someone else can play as her too.It released on September 14, 2021 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Bethesda Launcher.Previews: Welcome to Blackreef, DEATHLOOP Explained

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: Residuum (pronounced "Res-idj-oo-um") is an otherworldly energy that Colt can encounter before finding out what it is, and learning how to collect the material and infuse objects with it to persist with him between loops is the final step of the game-beginning tutorial. The material is also what was harnessed by Dr. Wenjie Evans to create the Slabs and Trinkets that give new and/or augmented superhuman abilities to the populace on Blackreef.

Pretty heavily Justified because they're father and daughter, much to Colt's shock as he was convinced that he and Julianna dated before and that was the reason she was coming after him with such passion for killing him.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: Until you get infusions and start building up your abilities, it can definitely be this. Applies to a greater extent with Julianna and for significantly longer. Where Colt can find and infuse new weapons, trickets and slabs as he chooses Julianna can only slowly unlock them at random by levelling up, meaning it may take a very long time for players to obtain their preferred loadout. Her personal Slab is also significantly less useful than Colt's meaning she starts at a disadvantage in a direct fight.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_1beef720	type	Living Forever Is Awesome
Deathloop (Video Game) / int_1beef720	comment	Living Forever Is Awesome: This was the sales pitch that attracted Eternalists (and many of the Visionaries). If you're living in a time loop where nothing you do is permanent and death just means "see you tomorrow", what's to stop you doing anything you want? Unfortunately, everyone's trapped reliving the virgin day of the loop forever, where hard drugs and other excessive debauchery was forbidden (or rather, limited to the Visionaries) while those in charge made sure the loop was working. You can even overhear Eternalists talking about the wild stuff they're going to do with no consequences, completely oblivious to the fact they're just living the same day of anticipation over for eternity. One interpretation of Colt is he noticed what a miserable hell this is, leading to his decision to break the Loop.

Given that this is in a Shared Universe with Dishonored, they're probably not wrong. If you break the loop it's heavily implied that the world has reached an apocalyptic state during the centuries Colt spent there.

Colt's memories begin with him lying down on the floor and being stabbed to death by Julianna with a machete, much to his confusion, and he initially thinks the whole thing is a nightmare upon waking up the next loop on the beach. That said, it is clear that Colt's actions have taken effect during prior loops with Julianna, but he cannot recall them, nor why she's so dead-set on killing him to protect the loop, and his journey is as much to find out his history as it is a way to figure out how to break the loop.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Deathloop (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Many of the unique weapons have interesting gimmicks but fail to be as useful as certain variants of the standard gear, with most players preferring a silenced sidearm over the fully auto Constancy Automatic SMG or an explosive Rapier rifle over the Sepulchra Breteira. Dual Wielding eats up two of the player's three weapon slots, has long reload times, can exhaust ammo quickly if weapons of the same type are used, prevents the player using gadgets or slabs with their off-hand and requires multiple trinket slots to be effective. In other stealth games the Nail Gun would be incredibly powerful being a silent source of ranged kills, but here silenced submachineguns are easy to come by and work for stealth and combat. High rarity nailguns compensate by having useful alternate functions such as revealing nearby enemies or disabling security systems, but with only three weapon slots to go by it can be hard to justify bringing a utility weapon. Julianna's Masquerade power allows her to swap her appearance with another NPC or with Colt. The idea is likely to blend into a crowd for an assassination or take the place of a Visionary but a number of factors make this less than useful: NPCs move in very stiff, predictable ways so simply moving or looking around or taking a weapon out is going to immediately tip off the Colt player, assuming they aren't already just gunning down every Eternalist they see. Julianna also won't perform any of the idle animations or environmental interactions real NPCs use so even standing still won't necessarily work as a disguise. The effect is broken if the copied NPC dies, meaning you can't complete the illusion by copying the enemy, taking their weapon and assuming their place. The Colt player's objective marker will still show the actual Visionary you copied and they won't change their behaviour or location, meaning the ruse will become obvious quickly. The Splashdown trinket triggers an explosion whenever the player makes a sizeable fall. As well as potentially breaking stealth this doesn't negate fall damage, meaning you risk damaging yourself in the process and leaving yourself easy prey for enemies.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_38b2491d	comment	The Fog of Ages: It turns out that the loop has been going on for at least a few decades over a century if not longer, and that the cause of Colt's memory loss is from an overload of information which leads the mind to start deleting information to compensate. There is an implication that the others on the island aside from Colt and Julianna may be suffering from a more extreme version of this, stopping them from remembering ANYTHING between loops (Julianna uses the term Sundowning to refer to their memory loss. This is an actual term used for a behavior common in dementia patients.) Julianna apparently discovered a mental exercise that has allowed her to retain her memory for over a century however, which is why she remembers everything.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: While the machete lacks the flash and style of the guns Colt finds all over Blackreef, it kills most mooks in two or three hits, never has to be reloaded, and is completely silent. Which makes it a much better option over most of the weapons you'll get. Players will typically eschew more elaborate mods or dual-wielding in favour of a silenced LIMP-19 which can pop off groups of enemies from stealth and even be effective in an all-out fight if the player is good at lining up headshots.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_3c7ccb69	comment	No Body Left Behind: Zigzagged Trope. As a side effect of the loop, when someone dies, their bodies disappear in a flash, but they leave a shadow behind that other enemies can notice. Played straight with a certain invisibility upgrade, which eliminates the shadow an enemy leaves behind when you kill them from stealth. There's also a chance Eternalists can "glitch" and leave a glowing body of themselves, worth a hefty chuck of Residuum when it happens.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_3c8ff5ed	comment	Clown-Car Base: Downplayed. Generally speaking there's a finite number of Eternalists on a given map. Loud noises and radio operators can call for reinforcements, but this just causes enemies in a wider radius to alert to your current position. If you win a firefight, that area is secure. That said, some scripted events (primarily, killing a Visionary) will repopulate the map, so escaping an assassination is never going to be too easy.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_4001334d	comment	PVP Balanced: While the gameplay draws a lot from Arkane Studios's previous titles (most notably Dishonored) a few changes have been made to keep things fair for hosts and invaders. Dishonored allowed you to equip all your powers at once, here you're limited to just two (aside from the mandatory Reprise/Masquerade power) as killing a player who can cloak, enhance their durability as well as throwing enemies around would be very difficult. Likewise players are restricted to just two of the four upgrades for each Slab. The amount of trinkets that can be equipped at once is much smaller at just four, and certain passive upgrades that didn't require a slot in Dishonored (e.g. enhanced sprint and health regeneration) now require one. Despite being a senior member of Aeon Julianna can't order Eternalists to specific locations or instruct Visionaries to run and hide, only alert them to Colt's presence once he's in eyeshot. She also can't cut the knot by, say, taking Fia's detonator and nuking Fristad Rock once he's down to his last life.

The Taking a Third Option ending is no better either, as Colt merely puts off making the choice for another cycle. The Golden Loop update makes adds some cheer to the break the loop ending, as it extends the ending to show Colt, 2-Bit, Pick, and some other Eternalists leaving Blackreef on a boat.

When investigating the Project Horizon bunkers, Colt will eventually come across a document mentioning that Colt had impregnated Lila, the woman with the hand-drawn picture in Colt's apartment. More importantly, it shows her last name is Blake, as in ''Julianna Blake''. During the final scene of the game, Julianna hands you a box containing antique duelling pistols, which also happen to be the exact same pistols from Dishonored, revealing the games share a setting.

Players are unable to take mods or Slabs from dead visionaries, likely to discourage players from killing their allies and doing Colt's job for him.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_7fd142ef	comment	Shared Universe: It's heavily implied and eventually confirmed that Deathloop takes place in the same universe as Dishonored. Here's a list: The Heritage Gun, beside having a very Dishonored-era look to it, is also stamped with the logo of the "Imperial Arsenal" and sports an impression of the clock tower of Dunwall. Its serial number even contains the letters "DUNW". And the animation for its unique ability may also elicit notions of something familiar: the fanciful mechanical unfolding of Corvo's gadget sword. It seems the Imperial technologists in Dunwall continued developing down that path. In one of her interview tapes, Harriet Morse mentions how one of her favorite books is about "the history of the last century" and is entitled "The Fall of Empires". The flintlock pistols Juliana gives to Colt at the ending are the same ones used by Dunwall City Watch, and she even mentions how they are museum pieces and have their original oil cartridges. There is a mammoth-like creature that was excavated in Karl's Bay. A recording of the drunken whaler song can be found in the spy headquarters with a note alongside it of one of the spies mentioning how it sounds "like something [her] grandma used to listen to". A warning sign◊ in the version of the game from its release day has a clear reference to Tyvia, the northernmost Isle of the Empire from Dishonored. The texture was swapped with one without said reference in a subsequent patch but DEATHLOOP still ultimately takes place on a frigid island close to a polar region, with Russian-sounding names on the map and governed by a state called "The Motherland" which relies heavily on Soviet-era nomenclature and aesthetics. Just like Tyvia. A number of furniture models greatly resemble distinctive pieces found in Dishonored, such as the four-doored cabinets, chairs, and the unique piano-like instrument that have 3 keyboards. One of the arcade cabinet games is called "Touch of the Stranger", with a logo that is decidedly similar to the Mark of the Outsider on Corvo. Possibly a game adaptation of Heart of the Abyss.

Colt's arc throughout the game is finding out who he is and why he's trapped in a time loop surrounded by people who want to kill him and the first few hours are dedicated to having him figure out the context surrounding his current situation whilst making his way through the island's forces on what amounts to muscle memory alone.

When Colt confronts Juliana in the Stabilizer core, he's given the option of either killing her and then himself to break the loop for good, or staying his hand and accepting staying in the loop for eternity. It's possible to kill Juliana but then decline to kill yourself and allow Colt to restart the loop, putting off the choice to decide whether or not to end the loop for another time, which effectively just means that Colt still has to make the same choice, but not for another loop's worth of events. Accepting Juliana's offer to accept the loop doesn't even really end the cycle of events either, as it's still possible for Colt to change his mind afterwards and re-create the sequence of events to render Juliana the only Visionary standing and then kill both of them to end things. The only choice Colt can make that will change events permanently is ending the loop, but it comes with the cost of alienating his only daughter forever, which is something multiple versions of himself have struggled to do throughout the successive loops.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_aac2244a	comment	Evil vs. Evil: Subverted. The Visionaries weren't good people to begin with, but it's not entirely clear at first as to why Colt snapped and decided to start repeatedly murdering his friends while he and Julianna have duels with high collateral damage all over Blackreef, making it easy to believe this trope is in effect. But while searching for the RAK Passwords, it's revealed through one of his divergences that Colt never truly believed in the Eternalist Movement and only joined Egor and the AEON Program in the misplaced hope that he could use them to develop a way to go back in time and reunite with his late lover Lila and their daughter Julianna after having lost them both to being trapped in the first time loop for 17 years. But once it became clear that he had inadvertently helped trap not only himself, but Julianna in another faulty time loop instead, Colt became determined to free everyone from this hedonistic cycle of senseless violence and death by whatever means necessary. Making Colt's conflict with the Visionaries more Grey vs Black than initially believed.

He spends all his time in a radio booth spinning his old hits and bitterly reminiscing on his salad days.

What's more, he was encouraged to do this by his girlfriend Fia, who dumps him, mocks him, and beats him every afternoon. Fia Zborowska: It's implied the impermanence of the loop eventually drives her even crazier than she was before, as none of her artworks survive to the next day. By the time the game starts, she's rigging a quarter of the island to explode for her latest "masterpiece."

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba	comment	Timed Mission: Of a sort. With each map Colt visits, time never directly progresses until he leaves to go to another, but which period of time you visit can affect what targets you're able to kill there, and since another loop ensues if you fail to kill all the Visionaries within a day's cycle, the game's time loop focuses around optimizing a route to figure which area to go to in which order and what patterns work together to kill all of the targets before it all starts again. In a more traditional sense, Harriet's Human Sacrifice has to be saved before he either gets lowered into the gas or before the gas reaches him. Charles's game that he plays at the Bay if he's still alive by nightfall is a series of these. First you have a bar that has a door with a lock on it. To open the lock, you must find 4 drawings painted on different walls around the bar that give you the code to the lock one by one, but you have only 3 minutes from unlocking the front door to figure out the code and open the door though you can cheat a bit by going around to the side and climbing through a gap above the barred door there, letting you figure out the password at your own pace, then exit the bar and go in the "proper" entrance and immediately unlock the door. The second challenge is at the hanger where Harriet is in the morning. There are 6 switches and you have 30 seconds to activate them in the correct order. Your only hint as to what the correct order is is that the next switch in line will be beeping. Finally, (after grabbing multiple other boxes around the zone), you have the final challenge that's similar to the one at the hanger, except there is a power nullifier with a field encompassing the obstacle course unless you find the wall crack to its room and shoot out its battery) and multiple lasers that if tripped will instantly fail the test, forcing you to restart the entire event on another loop. Fortunately, the resulting reward is a very nice gun (that can alternate between a rifle and a shotgun on demand).

Though the setting itself is pretty bleak when you learn more about it and there is still a lot of death, because of the loop, Death Is Cheap and the game has a rather humorous tone to it. Particular with our Idiot Hero Colt and his interactions with Julianna. However, compared to the Dishonored games, Deathloop lacks any unambiguously happy endings. Either Colt decides to abandon the loop and rebuild his relationship with his daughter (which is heavily heavily implied to have happened in the past, meaning it's only a matter of time before he sundowns again and the whole process restarts) or he finally ends it and permanently alienates his daughter in the process. And on top of that, something bad has happened to the world during the centuries that the loop was going on, the sea has completely dried up and the sky has turned a very ominous red.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Deathloop (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: A few are given to Colt to mitigate some of the trickier issues of actually playing a time loop. After Opening the Sandbox, the gameplay portion where Colt acquires his basic kit is skipped, and he starts at the map selection screen. The Reprise ability allows for Colt to die twice in a given area before he is forced to restart the day. It will rewind time as far as necessary to put Colt in a stable area and gives a few seconds of near-invisibility, making it incredibly unlikely to just drop you back into a deathtrap. Reprise gets reset if you manage to kill Juliana and absorb her residuum ghost, which can offset the trouble an invasion can do to your planned schedule. If the player finds a password for a safe or a door, there is a button that the player can hit to automatically enter in the code. The game goes to lengths to point out that time does not actually pass within an area until Colt retreats back to his tunnels, allowing for pressure-free exploration. If the player does not want to deal with an invading Julianna controlled by a random player with a varying level of skill, they can select offline mode and Julianna will be controlled by a bot. If the player lands a machete swing while in stealth, the game automatically performs the quieter, more certain execution instead. Once the Hackamajig locks onto a target, the player does not need to keep looking at it and is mostly free to move around without breaking contact. If contact is broken, the progress is saved. Should Julianna disconnect from the game this counts as a death, meaning the player can still obtain a slab upgrade, residium and any used Reprise charges. Julianna always announces her arrival when she invades a game so the player knows to watch out for her. The location of her jamming signal is also marked on the player's HUD. Julianna players are alerted when Colt starts to hack their jamming signal giving them the opportunity to find him and force a confrontation before he can run away. The hack takes a significant amount of time but cuts Colt some slack in allowing him to keep his progress if he's forced to leave and return. It's generally impossible to fail a mission outright, with a few exceptions such as Charlie's games and Fia's reactor (which are just undone with every Loop anyway). Your targets won't ever leave the map or move to an impenetrable location so if you're seen you can always just gun down every character on the map. There is the option to increase (or decrease) the amount of revives you get with Reprise, up to unlimited. That way you can have as many tries to complete a zone as you want. Though, understandably, this disables online invasions.

Every major milestone he reaches, Julianna tends to be dismissive and unsurprised by, as though it isn't the first time he has done so (she explicitly says as much when you unlock the ability to infuse gear to keep with you between loops.) Indeed, one of the endings has Colt choose to give up trying to break the cycle to instead spend time with Julianna enjoying the loop, but with a heavy implication that he'll either grow tired of it again or else sundown, at which point the whole cycle will begin again. The only true way to end the cycle permanently is to push through and close the loop for good.

When the player gains control of an amnesiac Colt, Julianna has become the far better fighter between them, despite Colt's own skills, and he has to learn as much as he can about Blackreef's resources, weapons and how to use them against her before she kills him and restarts the loop.

It's in part why Colt remains trapped in an eternal loop where everybody's out for his blood— Julianna always wakes up before him and sets in motion events to turn the whole island against Colt and persistently does whatever she can to hinder his attempts to advance or make headway in figuring out the necessary steps to break the cycle, no matter how monotonous things should get for her to do it over and over again. She does express exasperation at Colt sometimes making the same mistakes over and over again but maintains relentless focus on always stopping him no matter what. In effect, the closest thing to a Big Bad the game has is Julianna's resolute willpower to protect the loop at all costs, as she's the one that ultimately causes the cycle to repeat the same steps whenever Colt 'wakes up'. Julianna's similarities to Colt's own stubbornness makes more sense when they're revealed to be Father and Daughter.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_e92841f	type	Talking the Monster to Death
Deathloop (Video Game) / int_e92841f	comment	Talking the Monster to Death: Given a twist in that It's Colt who is being given the speech by Julianna. The final 'conflict' of the game involves cornering Julianna up at the stabilizer core maintaining the time loop, at which point, it's necessary for the other 7 visionaries to be dead before Colt can unlock his means of being able to reach the core. As the last person standing between Colt and ending the loop, rather than engaging him in a fight that she risks losing and letting Colt end the loop that way, Juliana goes for emotional manipulation, offering Colt a choice of pulling a Mutual Kill on her and himself to simultaneously end the loop together like he wants, or to avoid doing so because he's aware she would never forgive him for breaking the loop, and thus accepting being stuck in the loop with her. If Colt pulls the trigger, then it turns out that Juliana never intended to shoot him, and thus leaves Colt with a Last-Second Ending Choice to either kill himself and finally end the loop, or choose not to and maintain it. Colt Lampshades how dumb her plan was of just asking him not to break the loop, but also acknowledges that the same speech must have worked on several other of his temporal duplicate versions, given the loop is still ongoing despite their efforts.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_ea480f92	type	Simple, yet Awesome
Deathloop (Video Game) / int_ea480f92	comment	Simple, yet Awesome: The Shift Slab's teleportation ability unlocks new routes through the environment, provides quick movement for travel, stealth or escapes as well as allowing you to break out if caught by Aleksei or Julianna's Karnesis power. That's before you start adding upgrades that allow for superpowered kicks or swapping enemies into long falls or deathtraps, or simply extend Shift's reach.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_f802c31	comment	Time Rewind Mechanic: Colt's Reprise ability allows him to rewind to where he was a few seconds ago before dying, giving him a chance to fix a mistake. He can use this ability twice per area, refreshing when he leaves and goes to the next map. Absorbing Julianna's Residuum after killing her also replenishes this ability.

She'd rather kill herself and all of her compatriots if it means ensuring Colt can't discover her secrets.

Deathloop (Video Game) / int_fc85fadc	comment	You Shouldn't Know This Already: Every password in the game is randomized from the start, so unless the player wants to brute force a particular lock, they need to find the actual clues to solve them in a playthough instead of looking them up online. Though naturally, this knowledge carries over from loop to loop... with the notable exceptions of the code to the pressurization controls in Wenjie's lab (for which she has managed to create a process to make it unique for each loop) and, for some reason, the solution to one of Charlie's games in Karl's Bay.
