I haven't played the demo, so I'm not sure if this has been revealed, but I hope there is a really morbid game over screen with some super eerie music. That is one aspect of IGAvania games I have always loved and feared equally. It seems silly to say as an adult, but some of those death screens were quite chilling to experience growing up! It was good motivation to stay alive.

I have requested something better for a Game Over screen other than just text.. Either in a private feedback, or here bloodstainedfanforums.com/thread/1502/enkerias-wishlist can't remember and am too lazy to check at this point. I would like for a 3D view of the area you died in actually, spinning slowly or something. Or zoomed in/out with angles... Also a way for us to do this from the menu to take photos. update:GAME OVER!Oh nooo! That screen can be more than just a plain text. How about we evolve it? Fan ideas, not official nor even commented upon (first draft, will let the devs know about your ideas within a couple of days). Idea 1. In the menu, have a snapshot feature with a few angels you can toggle around with, filters and a way to save that image on your harddrive / flashmemory depending on system and easy share on social medias with hashtag included for a collection of them under the Bloodstained community. Upon death, you enter this mode if you so choose. You can also toggle around with the screens text, pick additional filters like Rest in Peace or similar, perhaps even add gothical themes upon it and not only color and shading filters. 2. From this screen you can enter theater mode for relaxing with some cutscenes from the game you have unlocked and listen on the soundtrack from this menu until you wanna continue to play the game 3. Show stats on how well you did. Secrets found, items collected, how much ether you used and so on. This stat window would probably be something people would enjoy even if you didn't die. Good for the gamers that want all the details and stats of their deeds. 4. Time Attack Mode / Speedrunner Mode / Boss Rush Mode etc. shows you either a scoreboard of yours / onlines / your friends best times. Or it can just show how long you survived, making it easier to bookmark, write down and store. Or do what my dad did with old Nintendo 8-bit games, write it down in a textpad and keep it under the TV (/ console or computer). 5. From this Game Over screen you can continue saved game or go back to the menu. If you choose to go back to the menu you are greeted by IGA himself, asking if you are sure with a voice and/or text saying "never give up on your dreams!" or similar. --- Let me hear what you would like to see on the Game Over Screen.

Enkeria You clearly have put much more thought into this since I originally posted. Well done! Of the ideas you listed above, I like #5 the best. I never considered the option of continuing your game without going back to the title screen and reloading your file from the most recent save. I think all of IGA's past contributions to the CV franchise (at least the metroidvania-style games) brought you back to the title screen after the game over sequence was complete. It would be cool to have a continue (as well as some other options) from the game over screen, like all the linear style CV games!

I'm also a fan of 5, though I think it might be a cooler surprise if the voice over only happens rarely. I always sort of assumed the game over sequence would involve Miriam's magi-crystals rapidly taking over, either turning her into a monster or something more inert (like a tree or a rock). I think it would be a good reminder of the stakes of her adventure. Since Zangetsu presumably doesn't have magi-crystals, maybe the hula-hooping oni would fit for him.
