That’s actually how I have intended to handle game overs. It is either that, no bad ends or permanent death. Plot armor is boring and permanent death is a bit too unforgiving (at least in the start).
What I had was the opposite problem. Chisel can easily subdue Snowy harmlessly and therefore it would be unrealistic/cheap to force a game over/undo. I also think she isn’t depraved enough to harm friends/ family… yet. If people start making morally questionable choices, such as making her bake raisin in her cookies…
