roguelike where you have to put forth collateral every time you do a run. If you win or escape without dying you keep your collateral. Collateral can include currency, metagame progression and unlocks, character classes, the ability to skip the intro cinematic, the name on your user profile, higher screen resolution settings,

I mean. If it's going to have a metagame, the metagame might as well have some teeth. I'm wholly in favour of this.
this rules, i love the idea of betting things you've earned, but also your first runs being especially brutal, dying while you're still figuring out the game as your QOL features slowly disintegrate and the game gets harder than it starts... it's like when a metroidvania teases you with all the powerups at the start but you're responsible for dropping them all, one by one
Love it. Imagine dying in-game and gradully losig letter of he lphb.

What if it made me put up Steam games as collateral.
Initially I could clean up my library of stuff that doesn't need to be there anyway... but over time I'll start to only have the games I actually want to keep.
I can't help but think of this as a game that if you're bad enough at it when you start out you won't be able to play it for long. Then again, a cute solution to that might be that at any point in time you can put your save up for collateral and if you don't win something back it's like a fresh install of the game at that point.
