Deathloop's narrative
Deathloop's swinging '70s time loop vibe is bracketed by a story that, for better or worse, sees protagonist Cole battle his way to the center of an unparalleled scientific phenomenon that's locked the island of Blackreef in an endlessly repeating day. In telling a tale about this kind of permanent loop, who knows about the loop—and what they know about it—shapes not only the themes of the story, but how the player will process them.
