- What happens after you die? - 19 November 2023
Dear Gamers, What happens after you die? In "SameShadow: Fernando's Journey," death isn't the end—it's a part of a cyclical journey. Upon death, you enter a Death-Reborn Cycle, allowing a limited number of respawns: more on easy mode, 10 times on normal, and 5 times on Hard mode. However, each death entails losing equipment, retaining only unlocked abilities and the sword.
