Deadbolt Game

DEADBOLT - DEADBOLT is an extremely challenging stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death.

Ibzan, the final boss of the game, was a reaper.His cassette mentions the plaster of the wall being broken down, but the fire was missing. My singing monsters composer. If you go to his apartment in a mission, you'll notice a large section of the wall looks patched up.

Also, he has a lighter in his safe, which is what the reaper uses to fast travel via pipes. The layout of his room is also similar to the Reapers.He refers to the fire (and maybe the reaper too) as a friend. He keeps begging for help from the player for some reason.Also, the fire's 'true form', in the final mission, is found in the level editor. It has the tag 'God of life'. Been waiting for this discussion.My personal opinion is that there are up to 4 reapers at once.

Our Reaper and Ibzan(his character design, his weapon, the way he carries himself, his cassette tape talking about being given missions by his 'friend' the fireplace, the way he calls you a 'poor reaper' as if he knows what makes a good one) are two of them. My '4' theory comes from the room in which the God candle is located in, behind him are 4 fireplaces which I assume he uses to communicate with the Reapers.I think Reapers are simply undead(skeletons, specifically) chosen by the fireplace. In the skeleton tapes, they constantly talk about how cold they are and how they want to finally be warm, and this is Ibzan's motive as well. This would also mean that if Ibzan(and our reaper by extension) were skeletons, then they are forced to roam because they committed suicide in their life(this comes up once during the game).I also believe our Reaper is the antagonist in the lore.

Both Ibzan and Ours at first were simply doing their jobs they were given by the fireplace, however Ibzan wanted to be warm and constantly was just wanting the attention of his friend, the fireplace, when all it would do is show up to tell him a new target then leave again. Granted, Ibzan took the life of many undead to get the portal working(so hes not exactly 'innocent'), he was doing it so him and his undead could finally be warm, and our character kills him in goal, once again, simply because the candle tells us to. Ibzan says different things when he falls(Im assuming it was because of hard mode vs normal mode). In Normal mode, he says 'I'm sorry, Friend', as if he believes he has failed his friend. In Hard mode he says 'I feel so.warm', as if the 'land' that he has seen and told the shamans about, he had misinterpreted and it is actually death.All of this is just opinion/headcannon, but we don't have much to go on so.yeah.

I like the 4 fireplace theory, but personally i think there is only one reaper at a time, and you are the 4th in line. What makes me believe that is the secret tape in hard mode. It seems to be recorded by another reaper, and every time you listen to it a candle comes and says 'that isn't for you,' then takes it. It seems like the reaper in the last tape was discontent with his lot in 'life,' so he might have rebelled or resisted and the candle god got rid of him.I dont think ibzan is a reaper either.

He lacks the ability to teleport through vents, and why would he have given up the warmth of the fireplace if that was what he sought? I interpreted his comment 'a poor reaper' as him commenting on our skills compared to other reapers he's fought and beaten before. The last 3 reapers most likely died trying to kill him before he reached the 'warm place' (what i call the last level). On top of that, in the sniper level, a young, barely burnt candle says 'wow. I've never been so close to A reaper before.'

The last tape really reveals a lot of info about the reaper. It pretty much confirms that you are not the only one, and it has some interesting points in it.

The tape says that he cannot eat, drink, sleep (doesn't even have eyelids to close), which makes it very likely the reaper is just an 'ascended' skeleton (you bleed black when you die on top of that, so you are obviously not human.)It also seems that 'ascending' to become a reaper is somewhat common knowledge. In timur's safe, he ponders in a document that if he were to immolate himself in the fireplace, would he become a reaper himself.

He tried and failed (his picture is even charred). How you went from being a skeleton to a reaper, however, i don't know.I definitely think the candle god has some suspicious higher motive though. Why would that candle be so adamant about that tape?

Why would the candle god withhold so much information? I think that when a reaper becomes slow or discontent, they either die or become a candle themselves (unlikely because of sniper candle, but possible their memory is wiped.)There are also other forces at work, especially charon and the demons (who are specifically not undead), but we know so little about them that nothing can be conjectured as of yet. It seemed pretty clear to me that Ibzan was a former reaper. The lighter, his knowledge of the god of life, and his dialogue suggest this.There are some pretty big elements of the story that are never explained. What caused Ibzan to lose the favor of the god of life, and thus his warmth? Did he lose the warmth and therefore his loyalty, or did he lose loyalty first and the warmth for punishment?

There isn't enough to really say one way or another, and it may not matter in the end; Ibzan wants revenge.The vampires, skeletons, and zombies all seem to be quite miserable as being cold literally all the time would be quite a curse. The god says, 'the goals of undead are always the same.'

They just seek to be warm themselves in the flames of life, and due to this, their actions are predictable. Those who are predictable are easy to catch. Hence, keeping warmth from these creatures directly contributes to destroying them, so Charon can take them to the afterlife.This may be where the threat of Ibzan comes from. He isn't predictable. He makes a portal to assault the god of life himself, something that not even the divine could have predicted.

Indeed, the god of life is surprised to see that you came to him, perhaps even distressed. After you dispatch your rival, the god of life snuffs you, because you've served your purpose.For a god of life, he sure is sketchy.

I agree, but I find it pretty ironic that, in the mission text before the first mission, the fire says that all undead must be helped towards the afterlife, zombies included. This makes me believe that, while the reaper we play as isn't exactly a hero, he does grant the undead their main wish, to be taken to the afterlife.

I think this is further proven by how buying weapons works, you give souls to Charon, and in turn he rewards you for your work ( trading souls for weapons. ), when you buy a weapon, you can even see several pale blue figures in Charon's boat.One thing that disappointed me was the lack of world building, besides helping with Ibzan's plan, we never learn what other kind of activities the gangs participate in. Were they criminal gangs before Ibzan's plot? What other kind of beings live in the Underworld / Limbo?.
