First, the opening text doesn't really help me, yet I died almost immediately the first time so actually read it the second time. I don't really get the game so I tried to capture pieces. I didn't get a sense of accomplishment and decided not to descend when the opportunity arose. I don't get this game, so I'm not going to play anymore. It looks like it took a lot of effort but might be more the kind of game I would expect on a Commodore 64 or DOS computer, something a bit abstract and meant for those with an appreciation for detail that gives them patience and persistence. Good luck to you.
