Doomed

Doomed's space black color perfectly represents the void he entered by removing his helmet in space. His name is grimly straightforward - "doomed" means destined to fail or die, which is exactly what happens when you expose yourself to the vacuum of space. This character takes the series' dark humor to cosmic heights, literally, while teaching a critical lesson about safety equipment. The scenario is extreme but carries a universal truth: some safety equipment isn't optional. Whether it's a space helmet, a motorcycle helmet, a hard hat, or a seatbelt, certain protective gear exists because the environment is fundamentally hostile without it. Doomed's fatal mistake - thinking he could survive without essential protection - represents the dangerous mindset that safety equipment is uncomfortable, unnecessary, or negotiable. What makes Doomed particularly memorable is the absolute certainty of his fate. Unlike some scenarios where there's a chance of survival or rescue, removing your helmet in space means instant death. There's no ambiguity, no "maybe it will be okay," no room for luck. This uncompromising reality makes Doomed's character an effective metaphor for all situations where safety equipment is the only thing standing between life and death.

Doomed's space-themed minigames emphasize the critical importance of maintaining safety equipment in hostile environments. Players must manage oxygen levels, maintain helmet integrity, and navigate space hazards while learning that some environments are simply incompatible with human survival without protection. In the original game, players must keep Doomed's helmet secure while he's in space, dealing with various temptations or obstacles that might cause him to remove it. The game creates pressure through oxygen management, equipment malfunctions that require careful repair while maintaining safety, and scenarios where quick fixes might seem tempting but are ultimately fatal. Later versions expand with more complex space scenarios: managing entire spacesuits, responding to emergency situations without compromising safety, understanding how different space environments (EVA, moon surface, space stations) require different protection levels, and learning that cutting corners with safety equipment always ends badly. These variations teach that in extreme environments, following safety protocols isn't paranoia - it's the only way to survive.
