THE DESIGN LENS

What makes this worth a closer look.

The absence of checkpoints may turn each failure into information rather than lost time. In an ever-changing castle, with souls-lite combat and the loop of kill, die, learn, repeat, the useful memory may be about decisions rather than layouts.

Before you make it your next game.

Death means another attempt. Pick it for the retry, not uninterrupted progress.
