This piece is really charming and has a ton of nice touches.  The visuals are nice and rich, with the combination of periods, quotations, and other characters in carefully chosen colors and shades creating a very nice tapestry of information.  I found the central mechanic un-intuitive at first...the fact that all the traps are called "traps" and aren't identified at the start left me feeling like I was just running around at random. But after more playing (and careful attention to the event read out at the bottom of the screen) a real logic emerges. 

The range of different effects that are generated by the traps is truly impressive. I was particularly taken by the splash of psychedelic color produced by one of them. And the first time my soul transferred into my clone was amazing. Though, I wasn't always clear what certain positive traps were doing, and which could be used multiple times...vitality, armor, and experience traps all left me feeling a little unsure of the systems they were impacting and how.

In two different games I ended up transforming into a T'itan, which seems to pretty radically jump your power level and ability to move through the levels. I did not discover if there's any way to return you to No'hanz' form.

I left the game with one big wish: that there was some means to get information about the different monsters - HP, attacks, special properties, other than just smacking into them. I think this would make it a lot more fun to make decisions about which you just bash into and which you strategize around.  Otherwise I had fun with this.

You can morph back with the morph trap.  The trap in general feels like too much of a gamble though, since it seemed relatively rare during my games.

There's some information in the "Spoilers" (click "Tips" then "Spoilers"), but it doesn't include full details.  The game could really benefit from a farlook/examine command which gives the same information in-game.
