I'm tempted to suggest a 'world' where he can die fast or get his ass kicked by a professional, so i'm going to 'suggest' (Propagandize) Sifu, because it's the 'new' kung fu game and the protagonist (can be girl or boy) would probably be more at the level of skill of the '0 hits speedruns' of the game than the usual 'die 45 times so you end the game at 65 year old' (dying in the game costs a 'year' of life). Instead of him getting involved with the plot (that much) and getting into the levels it could be he asking for training in between the levels and getting his ass kicked by the protagonist.

edit: changed from the 'fastest' speed run to a complete one since it shows the levels and gameplay better than stunlocking.

AN: So a painful, universe-long kung Fu montage so other-me can actually have options aside from 'run away'?

You know what? That sounds dope. Sifu's also going onto the list.
 
The game has two endings, one where the MC goes full kill bill and is the 'bad' ending and one where the mc spares the 'bosses' of the zone from his revenge after showing he can beat them and gets killed by the final boss (who then apparently gets remorseful and resurrects him later, OR gets remorseful and takes the role of 'sifu' in the sect he destroyed at the start).

It's a bit silly but those two are the only type of 'character development' in the game. Silly because ofc beating up armies of mooks in the head and breaking spines is not merciful and caused probably hundreds of deaths, not to mention what happens if the MC picks up a blade.

Go figure eh? So if you write a chapter based on it, you have a bit of work ahead of you to make something narratively interesting with this terminator character. I recommend the second interpretation of the second ending because it's a 'shock'. Dig two graves and all, except only one was needed. Could end with the this story protagonist meeting the villain Yang and talking about the MC and the protagonist of this story either trying to kill Yang (and probably getting destroyed), accepting the wish of the MC and the remorse of Yang, or both.

If you want a horror game suggestion, Detention is also a nice psychological horror about a traumatized ghost trying (and failing) at escaping from limbo (not even hell, although it's quite hellish), so that other game would make a nice character study of a deeply unlucky and disturbed person.
