Finally, my burden is a variation of deathmatch where one person holds an item and gets points for holding it, while other players must kill the holder in order to get the item. The original plan was to release both The First Encounter and The Second Encounter in one package, but the decision to split them into two games so that Croteam could focus on The First Encounter and see how well it sold before continuing development on the The Second Encounter remake.
