It's Official, Polygon Is Full Of Crap!

With that logic though, you could potentially miss parts of the game if you really suck at escaping, which wouldn't be any better.

With your logic of implying that this is seemingly a bad thing, then any game with branching narrative paths is considered a bad thing because you would be "missing parts" based on the choices you made in the game.

In a branching narative you see different versions of the whole story, if you get skipped ahead to a difference sequence when you get caught in a game like this, you are just missing stuff altogether. And I AM saying that this is a bad idea, Death worked in the original Amnesia, it can work here too.
