I won on my first try again, but I had a tougher time than with the first sketch. The exploration gave me a sense of mystery and surprise. My favourite moments were realizing that I can walk on the swamp tiles (which didn't actually turn out to be very useful) and figuring out how to get the key. The combat started out feeling straightforward until I realized how limited my resources are. Right when I was about to run out of MP, I found the Sacred Blood and was saved. After that, exploring the world didn't feel as scary, and I revisited past areas until I found the key. The combat returned to being somewhat straightforward, but there was the added dynamic of having to ensure I kept up my stock of Sacred Blood, which created some tension. The boss felt like it could've gone really badly if I got unlucky, but it missed with Silence at first, and then kept casting Silence even after I was already silenced, so I ended up finishing with a few unused resources.
