You can only die once in Upsilon Circuit

<p></p>

In most video games, death is only temporary. Such is not the case in the upcoming game Upsilon Circuit. Death means never playing it again.

Upsilon Circuit, created by the studio Robot Loves Kitty, is built on an idea called “perma-permadeath.”  In “permadeath”, a character doesn’t come back after he or she dies and players might forever lose that character.  But in “perma-permadeath”, the player is never allowed to play they game again.

The game is limited to only eight specially selected players, officially called “contestants”, at any given time.  These players are divided into two teams of four that work together, fight against one another, and kill monsters to gain experience and level up characters.

The players don’t get to choose how their characters level up.  They don’t even get to choose their own abilities.  Those choices belong to the spectators.
