Thank you so much for such an in-depth feedback!
I’m really interested if you’ve beaten the game with necklace or without :) The point of a necklace is exactly that, to take 1 slot of inventory! If you complete the game without getting rid of it, you get the good ending, otherwise the bad one.
About damage log I absolutely agree, explanation of many things was offloaded to itch page, as that was way easier during jam.
About game length: I actually made it almost 50% shorter than intended because I felt that monster variability is not enough for so many rooms, and I preferred that more people will reach the end, even if game may feel too easy as the result. I will probably release ‘original’ version after the voting ends!
Thank you for playing!
