What makes the game different from similar titles is the unique system of permanent death. In One Life death doesn’t mean that the player can create a new character and start playing from the beginning. If player dies, his adventure with the game ends definitely. In such case One Life will not allow him to play again.
This feature isn’t as terrifying as one could assume. It’s not that easy to die in the game. If a player actually dies, in most cases it happens because of his choice. If player loses a confrontation with other player, his fate is entirely up to the other. The winner can forgive the opponent or simply kill him, but it will be much more profitable to rob the opponent or make him a slave. This introduces an unusual level of control over other players and the fear of permanent death leads to a very careful planning of each move or to psychologically complicated situations in which player is ready to do almost everything to avoid losing his life.

Misc.
The unusual feature offered by One Life for PC caused many discussions, petitions and suggestions – the players were excited by this gameplay mechanic, but they also feared that it might cause abuses and cheats to be used. To prevent that, the developers decided to leave a possibility to resurrect a character in special situations, for example when its death was caused by a cheater or hardware malfunction.
