I mean, I wasn't confused, I just saw a noose an immediately knew what I had to do
Deathloop wakes you up on a beach after getting stabbed by a woman, you go through tunnels to a mansion to find a code for a door, the woman finds you again, decides not to kill you, you get the code
The voices in your head then tell you jump off a cliff, which you do, before you're suddenly grabbed by another version of yourself, who the woman appears, kills, and you fall to your death
You then wake up on the beach again
And this is just the beginning of the prologue
