As I have played and studied the game, I have concluded that
the plot of Killer7 exists on four different levels of
narrative reality. These four levels of narrative reality are:
the Cosmic level; the Political level; the Individual level;
and the Spiritual level. To simplify the distinction (and to
prevent this document from becoming confusing), I will refer
to each level of narrative reality by a nickname.
The Cosmic level is Gods.
The Political level is Governments.
The Individual level is Folks.
The Spiritual level is Ghosts.
All of these narrative levels progress at the same time, and
they interweave through each other. In the interest of keeping
my explanation unconvoluted, I will describe the flow of each
of the four narrative levels, insofar as they operate
independent of each other.
A: THE COSMIC LEVEL (GODS) [#IIA]
The Cosmic Level of the narrative is the easiest to describe.
However, I should clarify up front that there are three
different entities known as "Harman" in this game. They look
alike and speak alike; they are related to each other;
however, they are distinct from each other.
I will describe each of them, as they relate to their
respective levels of narrative. The "Harman" on the Cosmic
Level of narrative is the character who I refer to as "Hasidic
Harman," or H. H. I name him "Hasidic Harman" because his
manner of clothing suggests that he belongs to a spiritual
tradition related to Western religious heritage, which is
dominated by religious traditions that find their roots in
Hebraic history.
H. H. is described as "the God Killer." His rival is Kun Lan,
who is described as wielding "the Hand of God ...
