Start over as in you can't progress any more, because everything is killing you, because you wasted your ammo and have none to fight back?

Or start over as in there's some ammo depletion permadeath mechanic? You run out of ammo and the game just ends...

Thinking you mean the former, but the way you worded it I want to he sure.

If it's the former, this can happen in all sorts of games. Silent Hill. Resident Evil. Most of them you have the option to run away and when you're forced into a fight, like at a boss or whatever, they're designed to increase ammo and loot prior to the encounter. But if you're careless you can still end up with no ammo and have to restart from an old save, if not restart the whole game.

Last game this happened to me in was the first Evil Within. I can't remember what part it was but I got into a situation where I had to kill these creatures to progress and I had such little ammo that I kept running out and getting wrecked. Had to start over.
