History PlayingWith / NonstandardGameOver

* '''Justified''': Dying there would [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration count as the last sacrifice of a hero needed to break the ward.]]

** The GameBreakingBug called up the Game Over overlay before crashing the game. [[note]][[TheHellIsThatNoise hope you enjoy the noise at E-flat]].[[/note]]

* '''Enforced''': "We wanted to prevent the ArtifactOfDoom's overuse, because [[GameBreaker it makes the game way too easy]]. Let's have it turn Hiro into a colossal douchebag who makes even Evulz flinch through the sheer magnitude of his deubachery, and then end the game early!"

* '''Parodied''': Dying to the weakest mook in the game results in a joke montage of them uniting and [[NotSoHarmless taking over the world]]. Alice cuts off the scene with "No, that is bullshit, but still, [[WhatTheHellPlayer how did you lose to them?!]] Evulz didn't even make them for labor, much less combat!"

'''Basic Trope''': A message that displays on the game screen but still counts as a game over message, triggered by unusual conditions such as failing any objectives that are specific on that mode or level or through glitches. It also carries plot-relevant significance.

** [[UpToEleven Every possible way of dying has its own ending, ]][[LogicBomb to the point where it isn't even "Non-Standard" anymore.]]

** Losing to Evulz not only has a different outcome than the others, it has different consequences, as well. Such as [[YourSoulIsMine Hiro's soul being devoured,]] [[JustifiedExtraLives which keeps him from being revived ]][[FinalDeath and forces the player to begin a new playthrough.]]
