Really glad to see the game is still under improvement.
I really like the surreal "anything can happen" feeling and sense of humor.

Interesting stuff to read in the development plans https://attnam.com/wiki/Development_plans, such as
Sleep

    the player will have to sleep
    dreams
        the player could gain things from dreams
        affect food burning rate; Affect stats; Affect item spawning rate
        finding spells only from the dreams
        dream world

Really glad to see the game is still under improvement.

Yep used to love this game. A must for all roguelike lovers

[Troubler]

I wanted to like the new versions but can't get into them
Feels too much like IVAN: DDA or something
Too many cooks spoil the broth and all

Although I had a similar problem with lampshades mod too, it came off as messy and didn't mesh with the flow of the original content well
Feels bad to say it, because I always wanted an update and I know you're all trying, but it seems some things just can't be emulated
