Just stop playing. Your character is dead, play something else.

If the unforseeable event is avoidable, then it's an alternate timeline where (you) have better instincts. Internalize this and overcome your autism.

If you continue after dying then that's on you. Just uninstall the game

restart your run as the son of your previous character with the knowledge your father's adventures and the reason for his dead

I don't really care about it being a feature in some games, especially if you can learn from the trial and error. What i can't tolerate is game design similar to Dishonored (and sequel) where 90% of your gameplay IS the trial and error and map meta knowledge. Add to that being a stealth game from first person perspective and it's just a recipe for save scum hell.

Hitman games are quintessentially dishonest unless they're tackled blind with perma-death on.
The more times you repeat a level the closer it gets to tranny speedrunning instead of playing an assassin.
