What if when we die, we respawn, as another human, or even, another species.

Each life, from birth to death is a roguelike run.

Weew, if it too difficult, will you reset for new run :v ? Just kidding. But also, I know that modern roguelike game have something to make you stronger, and inherited into new run, on and on. Kind of permanent upgrades.

So, perhaps, if this run too hard, endure it. Which will make you “get-gud”, and hope for some useful bonus, permanent upgrades for further runs.

What do you think ?

Yeah. Basically.

While I don’t believe in any afterlife experience 100%, this is the one I choose to believe in the most because it seems like the best. Fade to black is boring, and living forever in peace and happiness would get old quick.

I’ve never considered it like a roguelike, though… I like it! You can customize any aspect of gameplay before each run or just hit random and go.

I feel like this is something that gets misconstrued with the concept of death. It’s not like you’d be left with your thoughts and memories. After death is exactly what before birth would be like. Were you bored for the first several billion years? Eternity is an instant when you’re left with no concept of time.
