'Unwinnable' is a gameplay state in which, while the game has not yet ended, it is completely impossible for the player to finish the game. Players who have reached this point have only two options: reload a previous save--in the fortunate situations where this is possible, or start the game anew--for the much more unfortunate situations where it is not. This is also known as a "walking dead" state. In {{Speedrunning}} circles, this is known as a softlock.

If it\'s unwinnable by design, then that means that it was done on purpose. Bad programming falls under Unwinnable by Mistake.
