Subnautica has a somewhat related concept which is that at the end of the game you have the ability to send a single time capsule to the maps of new players. They contain text, a picture (taken with the in game camera), and a handful of items.

It's a cute little feature that allows you to send something helpful (or just amusing) to the next generation of players.



I got a little fish in my first capsule (along something useful that I can't remember, maybe a suit). I kept it the whole game, then passed it on in my own capsule. It's silly, but I still think about that fish.


Sounds like a NetHack "bones level" that gets created when you die, and may appear in someone else's game. Full of cursed items, of course.

Nothing like finding your own bones and being attacked by your ghost.


Sounds like the nethack equivalent of seeing bad code, running

  git blame
and finding out it was me.
