The 7DRL version was the one from the middle of last year to keep a record for people looking at the 7 day roguelike jam page! It looks like I accidentally uploaded an old build for the standalone D: I'll fix that right away, sorry for wasting your time, that one was for testing thats why you couldnt die, and there were free items at the start.
edit: ok the standalone build should be fixed now. if you do decide to try it again, the title screen should say Demo Edition in yellow at the bottom
