*This post contains spoilers obviously.*

Yesterday, [something strange happened to me](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/i-died-my-mountain/?ref=killscreen.com) in David O’Reilly’s “relax-em-up” mountain simulator *Mountain*. I died. This was curious, because, as we’ve noted, *Mountain* thrives on serenity and peace. Also, you have no control over what the *Mountain* does, thinks or says.

This opened up a whole can of worms with some speculating that my death at the hands of Fluffy the Destroyer [could have been a bug](https://twitter.com/pedromeleiro/status/491971818853761024?ref=killscreen.com), followed by another [actual sighting of the Fluffy itself](https://twitter.com/thisisnevermore/statuses/491974532904009728?ref=killscreen.com). Belgian design duo [Tale of Tales](http://taleoftales.com/?ref=killscreen.com), who just completed a sucessful Kickstarter for [*Sunset*](http://killscreendaily.com/archive/tag/sunset/?ref=killscreen.com), provided an additional wrinkle (image above) by [showing you could die of infinite pain and sorrow](http://t.co/BzHnoKhtXo?ref=killscreen.com).  

But it was [Charles Vestal](https://twitter.com/charlesv?ref=killscreen.com), whose brother Andrew [created that amazing You Are Carrying bot on Twitter](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/twitter-bot-youarecarrying-turns-text-adventures-inventories-sea-creativity/?ref=killscreen.com), did a little sleuthing for us and inspected some of the application bundles inside *Mountain* itself. Charles pointed out that he doesn’t know *how* these deaths can occur, but only that they exist. Here’s the list of possible fatalities that he found:

- You are granted death by The Eye of Annihilation
- You died by The Arrow of Infinite Pain and Sorrow
- You have been destroyed by The Eye Of Love Unrequited
- You have been granted death by The Sun Of Infinite Darkness
- You have been killed by The Eye Of Blindness
- You were killed by Fluffy, The Bringer Of Guilt
- You were destroyed by A Giant Cube From Hell
- The Taker Of Souls Took Yours.
- You were killed by The Murderous Dwarf Star
- You have been killed by a Giant Ice Cream
- You are ruined by a passing Giant Sun
- You were annihilated by a Giant XYZZYX
- You were destroyed by The Icosahedron Of Doom
- You were killed by the Blood Pyramid
- You were killed by Rupert, The Bringer Of Ice
- You were killed by a passing sun
- A tiny XYZZYX killed you
- You were killed by a XYZZYX

Blood Pyramid? XYZZYX’s big and small? A 20-side purveyor of doom? Madness, all of it. Again, we don’t know what triggers these, but they’re in there, circling your *Mountain*, waiting to harm those you love. If you’ve seen these, let us know, and I’ll add it below.
