This might be the ideal game for an immortal being:
- fear becomes real because death looks final
- love becomes real because loss looks permanent
- moral choice becomes real because there is no visible developer commentary
- courage becomes real because the player cannot rely on remembering they are safe
the point would not be entertainment in the usual sense. It would be immersion so complete that the being discovers what it is when no cosmic safety rails are visible.
what if life is just a hardcore VR game that immortal entities play when they’re bored, where they forget their original life and they live a lifetime as a random human. The often reported life review in near death experience cases is the game over scoring screen.
