Some games just won't settle for laughs. Some games make you want to cringe as you're busting a gut.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
The act of killing a god.
A punishment set by the gods or in their name to a someone who has commited an offensive action towards them or the general good. If a third party (other than a god) delivers this punishment, the measure of such is given according to their point of view.
Dream sequences are a narrative and gameplay mechanic that present the thoughts or events that occur in dreams.
Games based on literature. This does not include licenses of another adaptation.
When a conscious character perceives something that either does not exist or is a contorted reality manifested by the character's unstable psyche.
Nothing helps set a game in a specific point in time more than having a few famous faces from history drop by to say hi.
Historically inaccurate games are those that do not abide by actual historical timelines for design or plot points.
Necromancers are spell casters who specializes in conjuring and controlling the undead.
Magic or divination involving the dead and departed. One that practices necromancy is generally referred to as a necromancer.
When the character the player is controlling dies as part of the game's plotline.
A gathering of people who believe in the same higher power(s), and follow the rules laid out by the mortals chosen to be their prophets. Video games generally try to shy away from negatively portraying real religions to avoid controversy, however they make ample use of fictional in-game religions.
A sacrifice is the act of offering something (item, health, creature, blood, etc.) to a higher power or a greater good. In games, this often guarantees some sort of favor in return.
Designed as non-fictional, relating to real or known history, and to claim or reveal that these events actually happened, but were deliberately forgotten long ago.
Sudden Death occurs when two or more players/teams have the same score at the end of the game. It can also be a penalty that activates when a player of match is taking too long. The players will then have to get rid of each other in a hurry.
Life after death, known by many names in many cultures, where the dead continue their existence forever parted from the living.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
