I got a chance to play through the opening section of Deathloop, as well as about five hours of the game’s history.

Recognizing that this is not a way to live the rest of his life, Colt is committed to breaking free from the time cycle. She tells him that she will continually hunt him down, killing him whenever she gets a chance. Julianna, on the other hand, knows Colt very well and is upset with him for something Colt doesn’t remember. Aside from being her killer, Colt has no idea who Julianna is or why she is talking to him. He is on an island called Blackreef, where time is perpetually stagnant people here live the same day over and over again, seemingly for the rest of eternity. Julianna soon gets in touch and explains to Colt her situation and, by extension, the rules of the game. He is understandably a bit shocked by the entire ordeal, as he has just been brutally stabbed to death.

As soon as he comes out of the deadly wrapping, he wakes up on a strange beach not knowing who he is, where he is, or how he got there.
