Furthermore, in some games such as Devil Survivor and Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, some inappropriate endings will trigger a game over instead of a New Game Plus. If this happens, the player is given the option to reset the game to 7 days before. In some games, especially newer installments from the Persona series, the player is given a deadline to complete various dungeons Failing to meet them will also result in a game over.
In games with the Fear ailment, a game over may also happen if either the protagonist or the entire party (depends on whether the game recognizes the protagonist's death alone as a game over requirement) runs away from battle thanks to the ailment. In older games, being inflicted with the Stone ailment could also trigger a game over. The most common cause is death, though the requisites vary between games: in some of them a game over may happen with the death of the protagonist alone, while other games also require the death of other human party members or even the entire party. A game over can be triggered through many means.
