Thanks so much for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed the palette (first one I designed myself), lore, music and mechanics.
I’ll have to look into the turn-speed thing, that’s unexpected. Was that in the 7DRL or post-7DRL version?
The praying mechanic is supposed to be mysterious (in part because it’s not fully implemented). There are meant to be advantages to praying near altars, but you can also pray any time.
However, who is to say whether or not your deity heard your plea? ;)
