I was dead and then I died.
Hotline Miami is a game set in the late 80s in Miami and is like if the movie Drive were a game on the Gameboy Color that was banned from every acre of land on this planet. Hotline Miami is about entering a room full of Miami gangsters and dying from the Miami gangsters and then restarting the level and then reentering the room full of Miami gangsters and clocking the first Miami gangster with your fist, taking his baseball bat and then bludgeoning the Miami gangsters sitting on a leather couch watching Miami Vice. You do this over and over again in different rooms with Miami gangsters doing different things and holding different things that can kill you. You will die over and over again learning with each golf club to the face and every bullet entering and exiting your brain(s) before you kill all of the Miami gangsters in a level. When you are finished killing all the Miami gangsters in a level, you must backtrack to your car, witnessing the wreckage of gore you have left on this day.
And the soundtrack is amazing.
