I guess part of the problem is that there are games where there are deaths, but they can be somewhat unlikely, so not every player will encounter them. So unfortunately you probably won't find what you are looking for. Of course I haven't checked every webpage ever made, so I can't say for sure, but I have never seen anything even remotely like that anywhere, and I read about adventure games almost every day. As far as I know though, there's no central PCGW style resource for this kind of "LucasArts vs Sierra" stuff. Other times, a bug that creates an unintentional dead-end / unwinnable state may be mentioned in the support forums. Sometimes reading some negative reviews (not walkthroughs) will mention it. The GameBoomers walkthrough for Dracula Resurrection is here and comes up with none of those phrases, so "probably maybe" it doesn't involve much death. If you're very lucky, a walkthrough may have a warning at the top about "this is a Sierra type game so save often vs cheap deaths & dead ends". If it comes up zero hits, it's probably a LucasArts style game. I don't know of an exact resource like that but one "quick and dirty" method that's mostly reliable is to find a text based (non Youtube) game walkthrough open it and search for phrases like "die", "death", "dying", "Save Here", "killed", etc, without reading through (and spoiling anything). StingingVelvet: In a world where things like PC Gaming Wiki exist and most information is easy to get with a few keystrokes, does anyone know a source that identifies whether adventure games are one or the other? Even if it's a forum post somewhere, that would be cool.
