History PlayingWith / Permadeath

** You can die a few times before it's over, and there's [[OutOfContinues no way of gaining any extra lives]]
** There IS a [[OneUp revival item]], but you'd rather get it VERY late in the game.

** On a less severe note, getting hit once ([[CherryTapping including accidentally stubbing your toe]]) and your computer/consoles explodes.

** If you die in ''Troperia'', [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame you inexplicably also die in real life.]]

** A class of enemies, [[{{Psychopomp}} psychopomps]], start showing up only when you have undead party members. They have a OneHitKill technique on undead that also prevents reanimation. They prioritize targeting undead strongly and should you lose all undead party members they [[ScrewThisIAmOuttaHere immediately disappear]] implying [[PunchClockVillain they don't care about the villain's cause]] [[TokenGoodTeammate and are only here to]] [[AntiVillain maintain the flow of the afterlife.]]
