Instant 100% DOOM bug?

[Frostbitten]

Was playing a game with Juri and had Knight-Errant as my background. Proceeded to play through 3 mysteries, with one being A ending and the next two having sub-A endings. After beating the boss on 3rd mystery, the game shot my Doom up from ~20% Doom to 100%. Tried lowering it with Crestfallen Mask, but it reverted back to 100%. I noticed I had -1 Dexterity, which I believe someone here had a problem exactly like this before where if one of your stats that aren't Stamina or Reason goes below or reaches 0, the game automatically shoots your Doom up to 100%.

Thought this was a new thing with Knight-Errant background where if you purposefully get sub-A endings, you lose the game automatically, but I'm sure this is a bug unless stated otherwise lol

I don't really see how it could be a bug that having a stat go under 1 would cause the game to end. Sounds more like a deliberate game design choice.

I thought it was deliberate as well, but I only ever gotten 6% DOOM penalties whenever I get sub-A endings, not an instant game over. I skimmed through balance logs and the wiki and nothing states that you get a 100% DOOM penalty if you get two sub-A endings in a row.

It's not related to the endings, it's related to your actual stats dropping below 1 (for example with the new elder god that reduces stats).

If you already know why this occurred you should already know this is intentional design and not a bug.
