You're trying to get stronger, and it shows you the numbers, like the damage you're doing.

And so you're always trying to minimize or maximize your impact in the game.

And through these repeated runs, and as you're getting more powers, you can lengthen that.

And it's just like, it's about growth, I think, ultimately.

And that's what makes it so addictive.

And, I mean, the story that they've also put together with the game, I mean, I'm like an ancient Greece nerd.

So this is like the perfect game for me.

I mean, the amount of time they spend in the recording studio, like I...

Nobody really knows.

It must have been thousands of hours because it's insane.

Maybe that's part of it.

I mean, we're talking about two games where like death stares you in the face.

There are very few players who would play either of these games and never die once.

It is built in.

And so if that's something that you're seeking to avoid, then yeah, I can see how you might not like these.

Let me ask you, is it a game about death or is it a game about mourning?

Damn it, why are you getting so deep on this?

Because that's what it is.

You know, I think it is a game about mourning.

And as you're following it, I mean, it has real narrative elements.
