Yup rereading chapter is so fun! /s
There is no tension in these games. Restarting the game/chapter is just wasting players time and it doesn’t do anything to enhance or help the story.
The whole spiel about tension and not wanting a save system is just petty elitism over objectively bad design decisions.
Edit:Needed to double check the game wasn’t updated.
“Good” example of a recent bad death implementation (it’s a bug on steam, steam files haven’t been updated, and author/dev(?) is working on it) is The Vampire regent. You can die in that game and have to restart the entire thing. I fail to see how system like that is fun to anyone. There is no tension, just a chore to play.
