please please PLEASE add this, I wanna see game overs without having to roll the like 1 in 256 chance to see them ONCE

Yee I agree, It'd be cool to see death dialogue & game overs in the "Play Test" sections of the Ghostiary.

I do have a couple solutions to access Game Overs easier, tho they both involve going into the game's files

1. Go to resources > enemy and edit an enemy's code to make them appear more frequently. The code is plain text files so you can edit it pretty easily with smth like Notepad. The specific string of code is usually pretty close to the top of the page; you can change the enemy's "appearances" (which floors they naturally spawn in) & "chances" (how frequently they appear for each floor)

2. Go to resources > sprites and simply view the raw image files used for Game Over screens. There's no background or text but its the easiest way to view them aside from maybe looking up a compilation on YouTube

Adding death dialogue & game over screens to the 'Play Test' sections of the Ghostiaries would be pretty dope ngl. and instead of sending you to the title screen they could simply send you back to their ghostiary profile
