>it's just a tale told by the protagonist

What are you favourite narrative tricks to tell a story in game so it can show you lose but you can't really die?

For as much as Assassin's Creed shat the bed later on and for how shitty the modern day sections were, it was a very clever conceit that you were experiencing a rough abstraction of events which already occurred and so getting hit by enemies or failing a quest weren't "mistakes" or "failure" but instead deviations from historical truth.

That was clever indeed

This game says it's just AI doing simulation, but doesn't quite convinces

I'm trying to escape the underworld but I'm also the prince of rebirth so I keep coming back every time I die.
