Deathloop for PC is an action adventure game in which the player feels as though it’s Groundhog Day, again. Taking many of the developer’s best bits from their previous games, this game wraps them all up and makes it so much more fun to play and learn! About the Game You take the part of an assassin, named Colt, in the main game, in which there is a perpetual party going on at the end of the world. Set on the Island of Blackreef, which is based on the real life Faroe Islands in the 60s, the islanders party all night, resetting at midnight to the previous day – this means that they can do whatever they want to: they won’t remember it and they will be fine! However, Colt can and does remember, and it is his mission to end the party for once and for all. The island used to be an experimental army base, with an ultra-top-secret mission, called AEON, which was designed to pursue immortality. But the army is long gone and the inhabitants – long ago test subjects? Long-time residents? No one knows – or no one’s saying – have long invested in the island, enjoying a carefree existence of the same 24 hours over and over again. Colt’s mission is to kill eight people in one twenty-four hour period in order to stop the programme resetting itself. If he has killed seven, and just one remains, the loop will reset and Colt will have to start from the beginning again. Much of the early part of the game will be spent tracking down and monitoring the eight, who are called the Visionaries (details below), to work out a killing plan that can be completed on time. Colt uses stealth, parkour and attack, to get to and attack his victims, and he can kill using guns, melee attacks or the environment. However, there are slight changes to the loop, and not everything will play out exactly as befor
