When life throws you a curve ball, you have to learn to bounce back quickly. If you don’t, you’ll fail the big test and fall off the cliff.
We had to start the trailer with a very blunt message, which was that the game was a story, not a game, and that the story would be like a life-cycle of someone, most likely Colt Vahn. The game begins with him waking up in the past where the visions have been erased and he is no longer on Deathloop’s island.
That said, I guess I should be a little angry because I’m not a huge fan of this trailer. It’s clearly designed to be shocking and make people feel like they need to watch it, but this is so bad I’m not even going to try to be fair. The trailer is so blatantly wrong for the game that it’s ridiculous. I don’t know if it was a glitch or just bad timing, but I’ve never been so mad at a game’s trailer.
I don’t want to make this a rant about the trailer. I want to talk about the game itself. The new Deathloop game is a game of deception. It has no story, and no point of view. There is no point in the world. There is no plot. There is no reason, no reason at all. You are a random person wandering around a world where everything is a random event. All of the plot is just your own random thoughts and random actions.
The game takes place in a world of reality in which you know nothing and no one does. All you know is what you see on screen. Everything you do is random. You are constantly being tested and given new situations to navigate.
In the end all you have is yourself. You are this random person wandering around a game world where no one cares. No one cares about your story, no one cares about your character, no one cares about your actions, and no one cares about anything that you do. You are nothing. You did not do anything to deserve to be here.
That’s the life of trauma survivors. They end up here because the world doesn’t know them and they don’t know the world. They end up here because the world doesn’t know them and they don’t know themselves. They stay here because no one cares about them. No one cares about anything they do. They remain in their own lives because no one is ever going to care about them.
I agree completely. And there’s nothing wrong with this. The whole point of trauma therapy is to get your mind out of your head, and into a place where you can be more aware of your actions and more aware of your emotions.
This is the same idea that many of us have with our therapist. We are constantly trying to move past painful memories, but our therapist is constantly trying to move us to a place where we do not allow our mind to be in a place where it is constantly thinking about the past. If you are a survivor of trauma, you are a survivor of the traumatic thoughts that have been running through your mind.
You are never the same after experiencing trauma. It is as if your body is always searching for a way out, like a muscle trying to get out of a cast. The same is true of your mind. When you have trauma, your mind is constantly trying to escape your body and your thoughts by being more self-aware. By recognizing and accepting how much you are still processing the trauma, you can be more aware of your thoughts and your actions.
