#2: Initial revision
Set up your world as a version of _The Matrix._ When the player-character dies, s/he is removed from "the game," and can now only influence other players second-hand: mysterious text messages, altering the headline on a newspaper just as the "living" character looks at it, turning on a TV remotely, etc. So your player-character becomes a kind of _deus ex machina_, not able to interact directly with the other characters, but able to leave hints and breadcrumbs.
