Day 1 of writing ultrakill: hehehe machine powered by blood!! Mankind is dead, gabriel wants to fuck that machine

Day ???? Of writing ultrakill: hell is alive. Hell is alive and we are the entertainment, marked by blood as the fuel. The terminals watch us: for they and we are ultimately what’s left of humanity. They are an archive of everything mankind has ever achieved and one of its last remaining idols. There is nothing left to consume but yourself. The loop will endlessly repeat until either entropy- or yourself finally, mercifully ends it. You and Gabriel are tools now without purpose and now you must find it. Through Gabriel are you able to reach peak performance, the penultimate version of yourself. Through V1 Gabriel is able to achieve a form of deliverance- ecstasy through a newfound freedom. This is a wretched, bloodied love story that’s alive with every player as its intestines and entrails- eating itself whole. By killing each other- you will destroy everything you have left. You must break the loop today or the loop will repeat tomorrow. Gabriel really wants to fuck that machine and V1 wants that angel BADLY

#brace yourself im having another ultrakill thought #I think loops and cannibalism are vastly undervalued when it comes to ultrakill’s story #cannibalism in the way that V1 is consuming what’s left of itself- its own purpose to fight fueled by itself fueled by itself and so on.#which again ties into the theme of cycles #Gabriel in the way that the council had essentially ‘eaten’ one of their own whole at the slightest sign of imperfection #and yet Gabriel is able to break a clear cycle #just as V1 is able to break hell out of its dying cycle of eternal punishment by just killing #am I. am I making sense #can you tell I fucking love the violence layer #also throw in something about lust renaissance / greed insurrections attempting (and succeeding in a way) to break the cycle of torment #ultrakill #rose talks #for my next trick I will write terminal X V1 completely unironically #analysis
