This game confused me a lot and I ended up not playing it. I couldn't find the answers to any of my questions in the guide.

• What are the win/lose conditions? Do I have to do anything specific to light the beacons other than figure out where they are on the map?
• How do I determine what type of "curse" monster I'm fighting?
• Where do the rollable tables come up? I saw that the "Region" determines the flavor of the next part of the map, but I don't see how I'm supposed to use Theme, Event, or Story.
• If I make my best stat "speed," can I use a speedy approach for all situations and get a +2 bonus for every check? If so, why have character stats at all?
• Can I rest in the middle of fighting a curse? Can I win the game without defeating all of the discovered curses?
• Why should I buy information or "consult the oracle" when the only thing I really want to know is, "Where are the beacons"?

I get that this is supposed to be a small, condensed game, and the aesthetic is very intriguing, but I just couldn't figure this one out.
