I was walking along and suddenly my character starts coughing violently. Vision starts to fade and she collapses to the ground, dead. There’s no text to tell me what happened.

I’m at Lorenz SysTech Spire now but it happened earlier in the game too.

Edit: I figured it out. There’s gas coming from the doorway I was beside. The previous time I’m not sure what happened. Maybe my energy just got too low. I thought the health bar was a battery bar for the torch :)

    Sounds like the kind of thing they’d put in games as an anti-piracy measure to get people to tell on themselves

      I bought this copy :) But I do remember listening to a live podcast segment about gaming where an audience member had their hand up in response to some question. When the microphone got to them, they said that one thing they didn’t like about old games was trying to figure out the controls. The presenter pointed out that for people who paid for their games, the instructions were included. I was embarrassed just listening.
