The mentor/parent figure has to die for the protag to prove that they’re self-actualized or whatever. Sometimes I can point out who’s going to bite it as soon as the first few scenes of the book/movie/game and it makes me want to stop reading/watching/playing, and then if I keep going anyway I regret it when it turns out I was right.
Looking forward to it! The Bloodstained games are some of the best Castlevania-likes I’ve played.
