games without respawning items or enemies have always felt like entropy horror to me. am i going to run out of gear or exp within the span of a reasonable playthrough? likely not. does it remind me of the depressingly finite and decaying nature of things? absolutely

on that note for one reason or another "gone forever" as a video game concept has always tripped me out and i usually try to avoid it when designing games

i love when games are a little dickish. hidden instakill traps. characters that make fun of you for doing poorly. being a little mean to your players is an unalienable game dev right
