Understand the Loop

It is crucial that you know how the loop works in Blackreef, during the first 90 minutes of Deathloop the game will subtly introduce you to the rules you have to adhere to. Your success in the game is dependent on your understanding of those rules and how you can manipulate them to your advantage. Listed below are the rules:

1) A day on Blackreef is made up of four time periods (Morning, Midday, Afternoon, and Evening). There are also four regions (The Complex, Updaam, Fristad Rock, and Karl's Bay).

2) From your bunker, you pick a time and a place to explore. While you are exploring time doesn't pass.

3) When you return to your bunker, time advances, and you can Infuse items (after you complete the 'Ubiquity' Visionary Lead).

4) Dying three times before you make it back to the bunker will result in you losing anything you haven't Infused, and you go back to morning.

5) The only way to travel between areas and times of day is Colt's bunker.

6) You will get one last chance to Infuse anything you have the Residuum for at the end of the day. After that the day resets, and you effectively die. With four time periods and four locations you then have 16 destinations to choose and navigate between.

Basically, Colt must kill eight visionaries in a single day to break free from the loop.
