That was the intention, edited for clarity.Mabey instead of taking you to the Main Menu the could take you to before just before you're mistake.
I dunno, I think it would reduce the "game feel" if every auto-death rewound things to where you made the poor choice and let you try again. You can already save-and-reload, and some people like playing without a safety net.I think that's just how it should be done...
I was thinking of how Spirit potions let you see the past and/or what-ifs, and Mortality Glimpse being the MC's first step to seeing the future.
Maybe you could buy an Amulet of Insight from Daiyu or find it somewhere? Where equipping it gives the auto-death choices red text or something?
