Has anyone played this brutal game? I don't think I've ever played a game that has been so unforgiving and punishing if you make a mistake. But in saying that, it is a really good game, and definitely worth a play if you are into RPGs.
It's no different, in terms of pure unforgiving provisions, than some of the older adventure games (Ghost N Goblins, for example). But yeah, it is "laugh out loud, throw your head back" ridiculous in it's difficulty. It's also hugely addicting, and I never get addicted to RPGs. I'm glad it was only a week rental though.
