GUTS UNIVERSE - VIOLENCE

GUTS

GUTS is a hilarious ultra-violent Tarantino-style over-the-top game where players must dismember each other. The fight continues even when there are just two little stumps, and it keeps going until one fighter emerges victorious after dismembering all the opponent’s four limbs!

A spectacle which unites advertising, violence, sports, fame, technology, and creativity. All in favor of deciding who will the world’s next idol.

On one hand it is an accepted spectacle which generates billions of revenue, yet on the streets it has become significantly absent. Though people still get into frequent arguments and fights, society has transferred its willingness to punch each other in the face into the habit of swearing, screaming, and trolling on the social networks. In large part, this has happened because economic contrasts have diminished among individuals, but obsessions with fame and popularity have risen.

The rule of the world of GUTS is that anything is allowed as long as you’ve got a signed contract and the promise of fame. This is what drives TV and why violence is so relevant. The crimes and rage people no longer commit on the streets have become the nature of TV shows. All of them act as convenient escapism and offer gore to spectators in a secure and captivating manner. Absurdity is the standard because individuals are literally willing to die for fame, while others are more than happy to watch because they secretly desire the same thing, yet are too afraid to participate. The world has ceased to be (physically) savage and dangerous, therefore the preposterous premises of having people hitting, kicking, and killing each other satiates the human being’s thirst for chaos.

All individuals are entitled to a governmental allowance which provides for one’s basic needs. Despite not having eliminated greed - luxuries are still existent -, petty thefts and most money driven crimes have become rare occasions. Homicides and other offenses against the law are usually of emotional origin, not for financial gain. Very few extend to physical violence and even digital felonies, such as hacking accounts, are not many because the fame industry has heavily invested in security measures.
