Death

From Pressure Wiki

Death Screens are an important game mechanic in Pressure, showing players information after death.

Overview

Death occurs if a player's Health reaches 0. When a player dies, they are sent to Sebastian's room, where they are shown the file of the monster they died to. The player is then given the option to revive, return to the Lobby, or to stay and spectate other living players. If all other players are dead, they are instead given an option to start a new run.

Documents

Monster Document

When a player dies, they first meet Sebastian, who shows them the document of the monster they died to. The first time the player dies to a certain monster, a majority of the lines are redacted. More lines get revealed with subsequent deaths to the same monster. Sebastian also talks to the player, giving them small bits of strategy advice.

Results Document

The results document seen after a run.
For more information, see: Currency

After viewing the monster document, the player is shown a second document, detailing the results of their run and their rewarded Kroner Kroner. This document is shown during the spectator screen and can be hidden or unhidden by the player. The results document also appears upon escaping the Hadal Blacksite. This document includes the following:

  • Room number reached
  • Total Research Research collected
  • Milestone reached
  • Friend referral bonus
  • Total Kroner Kroner rewarded
  • Whether the run was a failure or a success
  • The name and an image of the monster the player died to
    • Some deaths by specific monsters will show "Cause of Death" as "[REDACTED]", along with a black image with red "[REACTED]" text displayed diagonally over it, instead of an image of the monster.
    • If the player escaped the Blacksite, the Hadal Division's logo will appear in its place instead.
  • An Overseer comment

Overseer Comments

On the result document, the player receives an Overseer comment based on which monster or hazard they died to. The comment acts as a description of what happened to the player.
