i gm-ed this today in my ttrpg club and it was a resounding success! over the course of like 3 hours of playing and 4 challenges (that i just counted up to 6 successes each) my 5 players only lost 2 characters, got genuinely invested in their arcs, created tragic yuri, and then "beat the game" by changing the genre from a grimdark to Sonic the Hedgehog to beat up the Dark Lord with the power of friendship.
seeing that Aloofness was essentially health i also made up some mechanics in the final battle where the enemies got to counter roll at 1 upgrade and with 4-6 give a character some aloofness, so i'm not sure i GM-ed correctly, per say, but everyone had a catastrophic amount of fun. This is a brilliant and fun game!
Hell yeah, sounds like a pretty normal game of EWA10PBS!
Regarding your hack, I intentionally left out mechanized HP and harm to the characters for thematic reasons to focus on drama and narrative but it still sounds like fun.
Finally played this and it was absolutely hilarious. My immortal edgelord "Luxvi," also known as LXVIII, had a great time killing himself repeatedly to deal with his enemies. 10/10 would recommend

If you laughed with recognition when you read the title, play this game immediately. It’s exactly what you’re hoping.

This was silly and so much fun!! Only took about 2 hours start to finish with 3 players.
Update: Played another session of EWATPB, on Twitch this time!
