Silksong has the most insane secret bragging rights reward I've ever seen: A special red or purple inventory icon for beating at least half of the game without a map

Hollow Knight Silksong.

"I played for 20 hours without mapping for this," wrote user JessieWarren09 on the Silksong subreddit. "I stole Trobbio's edgy purple quill, cause he doesn't deserve nice things." Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about?

It took a second for it to sink in: Silksong makes you pay for everything, including a quill to update the area maps you buy from Shakra⁠—without the quill, you're just left with the vague outlines of each area to navigate by, as opposed to a proper metroidvania automap.
