Ok misc fraud thoughts, ultrakill spoilers ahead
I was right hell is cannibalizing itself!!!!!! and the last echos of humanity reverberating upon themselves upon themselves upon themselves etc
Cause like ultrakill has a lot of themes about cycles & breaking them right (see: blood literally being fuel). I mean the plot of the game is set in motion when V1 breaks the cycle of Gabriel defeating endless machines roaming into hell by actually defeating Gabriel. So I really think this layer is representative of a feedback loop, pulling on itself endlessly. It’s also probably why hell is so fascinated with V1– it’s something new. Something unexpected
To hell it’s all a show, that’s all it can be for hell. It hates to be perceived, it’s a tumor that once visible will be removed.
This also ties in with the terminals, how the terminals grade V1’s performances, give them weapons, watch the cybergrind, etc. we know that hell is influencing the terminals because they’re one in the same: both left abandoned to rot in mundanity, only being able to talk to themselves / versions of themselves over and over again. So, like the terminals, when it finally see something new it capitalizes on it for entertainment
