Death is everywhere in video games, but it's rarely something we're asked to think much about. It's something to escape or inflict onto others, marking the end of your run in a roguelike or a goal to reach for in a competitive shooter. What's explored much less often is what's left behind, in the form of grief, memories, and physical remains, all of which in real life require careful handling and reflection.

"Games haven’t really plumbed the depths of how we handle death, more than sort of a consequence of our actions."
