Summary0010471: Death in a IsNonScoring Level
DescriptionIf, by chance, you should die during the tutorial, you are presented with the game's normal choice: Start in this level, or start in the overworld. If the player chooses the overworld, they will bypass the opening story entirely, taking control of Darrell in the Phoenix Forest.

Would it be possible to skip this prompt and simply restart the level? If this isn't a consistent need for "IsNonScoring", we would need a separate flag called "NoOverworldUponDeath" or something to that effect.

As a side note, it's not easy to die in the tutorial -- you would have to jump into a ravine several times, get absolutely clobbered by Grays along the river, or use the Poison Pill. In fact, should the kids have a Poison Pill option..?

...Not that I want to give up the Poison Pill in Dev Mode...

For the poison pill I think that should be mandatory all the time, because people can get themselves stuck in all sorts of ingenious ways. ;)

Thanks!

* In non-scoring levels, you no longer have the option to restart from the overworld; you can only restart the current level.
