Deaths
What would a Shadowgate game be without a lot of different and creative deaths? Dumb and boring, that's what. Luckily the newest game does not disappoint. Not only does it not disappoint, but it might have the second most deaths of the series...falling just behind the metric ton of deaths in the 2014 Remake. But I'm not counting them all, so who knows. At any rate, these are the ones I've found. If you discover more, feel free to let me know.
