DEATH SYSTEM
In Broken Gate players will possess only a single life. Their life may be elongated, and death may be staved off but if their time comes then all of their reputation will be lost, and they must create a new character. The player will not lose any hardware or currency, but they will lose all of their accumulated reputation. This system aims to make the game world more immersive and will force players to step back and take stock of their situations. Should they risk it? Is it worth it?
However players will not die immediately after their first death, they may return to life a total of six times. Each time replacing a damaged organ or limb in order to survive. What organs or limbs are available to replace will depend on how the player ‘death’ occurred. The replaced organ or limb will add a contextual benefit to the player, helping them to survive in situations going forward.
