Idea I got when I saw that someone had made Kris Dreemurr in Tomodachi Life: mod for TL or something like it where every so often, once you have enough citizens, your town/island/whatever periodically gets blanketed by a weird supernatural effect, let's call it a "Dark World." A subset of your citizens are subjected to these weird psychodramas based on their personalities, and they need to do JRPG stuff to make it go back to normal. The first time it happens, it unlocks a menu for each citizen specifying how likely they are to die. Dying is rare either way. But it still happens! And I mean they aren't necessarily dead-dead, y'know? Like instead of dying, to borrow a Touhou bit, instead of having a bad time, a citizen might have a merry time! :)

The player doesn't need to know in advance, either. Merry disappears into the darkness in a way that doesn't leave a corpse, and then three Dark Worlds later there's this goddamn final boss called Yukari messing things up. Or she disappeared into the darkness, but she's back safe and sound now that the Dark World's gone! ... or is she? There's someone or something who looks and acts like Merry, who has the same personality and relationships, but there's always something ... off about her now. She's never one of the citizens selected for the Dark World anymore, either. Meanwhile, you need to deal with that Yukari weirdo in each new Dark World. (And when you finally destroy Yukari, Merry has vanished from your town ...)
