Softlock
a softlock is a savestate in video games where you are placed in an inescapable situation, preventing progress forward in the game, and also preventing backtracking, leaving you stuck in a particular position with no hopes of escaping. this is usually the product of design flaws, overlooked mechanics or levels, or simply glitches embedded in a game.
the most common way to escape a softlock is to restart the game from the beginning.
examples of a softlock may include but are not limited to: death on sp-wn, sp-wning inside a wall, a game autosaving right the instant before you die, etc.

gamer 2: “wow that sounds like you got softlocked bro. better create a new save file and hope it doesn’t happen again!”
gamer 1: “d-mn it! i had so much progress in that save file!”
