Spiritfarer is probably the one piece of media to make me most afraid of death.
It’s a story with a truly evil and heartless antagonist, who never gets any kind of retaliation or comeuppance - because he’s a primal force that will exist for all time and cannot be stopped.
That... Is an absolutely wild take on this game, yet I can see how you could go there.
It’s a lategame thing, but you end up getting a conversation with Death, and he definitely doesn’t come across as the “undesired but pleasant end” type of guy he is in the Discworld books. He’s “mean”, he greedily steals beloved people from you, and knows how much he’s hurting you. It’s chilling to compare to a lot of games where you would meet a guy like that and get to beat him up.
Ah, that is a good point.
