History Webcomic / ErinDiesAlone

''[[http://dyingalone.net/ Erin Dies Alone]]'' is a SpinOff[=/=]AlternateUniverse of ''Webcomic/CriticalMiss''. Like its parent series, it concerns a young writer named Erin and her somewhat tenuous grasp on reality, which mainly manifest as hallucinations involving video game characters.

* DrugsAreBad: Being the personification of everything TheNineties, Rad Panda thinks so. [[spoiler: Including prescription psychiatric drugs.]]
** [[spoiler: Then again, since the exact nature of the pills, what they treat, or if they're a legitimate prescription or something else that she might be using to get high are all unknown, it is questionable if those pills helped anything. Given that she's been taking them and been a complete shut-in for months, they're not going to make her want to leave the house. One fan theory is that they're a real treatment for her vivid hallucinations and he's been sabotaging them all along out of self-preservation.]]

Unlike ''Critical Miss'', ''Erin Dies Alone'' has a '''much''' darker and more character-based sense of humor in contrast to the former's lighthearted and irreverent gags. It essentially build on the car crash / head trauma storyline from the ''Critical Miss'' series that was mostly abandoned to keep the comedy aspect. This comic runs with that theme and explores it a bit more deeply.

In 2017, the series left the Escapist and set up it's own page. However once the The Escapist revived, they invited back the creators. But rather then continue with this series, they dropped it altogether and created a new comic called ''Critical Mix'' which uses characters from this series and places them in their own world. So for all intents and purposes, ''Erin Dies Alone'' is done.

* CaptureTheFlag: Since Gunlord is and expy of ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' the main goal of the game boils down to this.

* KilledOffForReal: Ultimate Saga VII being a parody of a FinalFantasyVII made it inevitable in that game arc. [[spoiler:Turns out it's actually the ''Cloud {{Expy}}'' who dies instead of Althea, the stand-in for Aerith, getting himself killed via HeroicSacrifice in a HoldTheLine situation when the enemy deploys a weapon he couldn't block with his sword. To her credit, Althea actually tries her best to heal him, but he's too mortally wounded to save.]]
