Thanks for the review! I really appreciate your time and effort. I was worried that I'd turn people off with the poetry, so I'm glad you found it accessible.
As long as there is an enjoyable game element included, I can enjoy the heavy themes and understandable poetry, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. On the other hand, oldschool cave crawls are not everyone's cup of tea either, so I think your game will do pretty well :D
