How The Maker Of Dishonored Has Altered Reality In Deathloop

 

Trapped on a frozen island and hunted by hundreds of mask-wearing madmen, Colt Vahn’s life has become a living nightmare. And, this nightmare never ends. Every 24 hours, the cycle repeats and Colt’s battle begins again. There’s only one way out of this time loop: Colt must assassinate eight of the world’s most powerful individuals … and he has to do it before this island drives him insane.

 

 

Living On Borrowed Time

 

It’s morning on Blackreef Island, and Colt has just emerged from the underground tunnels that wind their way across this desolate landmass. Colt just woke up, but he’s already ready to collapse. His legs feel heavy; his arms are dead weights. A hangover from the night before is beginning to ease, but Colt’s real troubles have only begun. So, Colt fights through the pain – pushes against entropy – and presses deeper into the island. He knows he’s marching toward his own death, but he has no other choice. If Colt wants to get off this blasted rock, he must orchestrate a seemingly impossible series of assassinations in less than 24 hours.

 

 

The first name on Colt’s list is Frank Spicer – a security specialist and wannabe rockstar. Frank is currently holed up inside a makeshift casino that he’s nicknamed The Rambling Rock Club. Finding Frank’s club is easy; getting inside is the hard part. As Colt looks down on The Rambling Rock Club from a nearby ridge, he sees several guards patrolling the outer perimeter of the complex. A handful of stationary turrets scan the terrain, ready to spit lead at any unauthorized personnel who wander near Frank’s funhouse.

 

 

Colt sets his sights on the front door of the building and prepares his Shift Slab, a piece of physics-breaking tech that allows him to teleport across short distances. Colt “shifts” past a turret and up behind a patrolling guard. Then, in one smooth motion, Colt takes a machete to the guard’s back. The sentry crumples to the ground before dissolving into a barely visible form of energy that glistens like water in the sunlight. Colt doesn’t know why the dead transmute like this, but one thing is certain: Reality on Blackreef is broken.

 

 

The coast to The Rambling Rock Club is now clear, so Colt sneaks up to the front door. He’s free to enter, but there’s a catch. Frank is an incredibly paranoid individual, so anyone who enters his club must wear a Slab-inhibiting wristband, which means Colt won’t be teleporting his way through Frank’s club. Colt straps on the wristband and withdraws a silenced pistol then fires a test shot. It looks like the wristband doesn’t affect Colt’s ability to use firearms, which is bad news for Frank.
