This shows when you first launch the game, and when you select “yes” when replaying 0-1.
This tells you everything you really need to know about the lore at that moment. You are V1, you’re approaching hell, and you need a weapon.
In ULTRAKILL, testaments are found in secret levels, and contain lore. We do not know who writes them. Actually, we do know. Here’s a quote from Hakita, the game’s developer. “the idea is that each secret mission would have a little “testament” at the end that was written by god that hints at the events that have unfolded in the game world.” This one further expands the game’s universe.
