Wow, this game is lightning fast once you memorize the locks and actions you can take. I just blew through a playthrough (no journaling or RP :P) in like, 5 minutes. Alternated between a really bad day, a really good day, a really bad day, and a decent day where I couldn't quite pull it out in the end. I did get one of my magic items in my second playthrough, a Magical Hexpick 3, which I put to use to get pesky lock 5 out of the way early on :P
Still feeling out which locks to get out of the way first, which to hold onto as better shots of passing... I'm gonna do another playthrough like, right away. I imagine you could easily play this game from memory (maybe with the exception of my item system) with just the dice and a piece of paper, anywhere in the world... and that's super cool.
