Same, I hadn't actually played the games so I could just enjoy the films. YYAASSS, the laser scene is epic. The horror you feel is palpable as you watch the laser line multiply into a grid and you realise what is about to happen!
I played this on the cozy, easy mode so I had 6 slots for my supplies. So with encountering 5 perils, I just managed to "survive" and complete the map :-)
I will probably always play on the cozy mode to be honest! I just want to have a whimsical adventure and draw a map!
