I couldn't finish the handcrafted mode, it got pretty brutal on the 4th or 5th floor after the big open room full of wasps and the invisible walls. I lost all my party members one by one except for one, no one died in combat except for the last one (the mapper) shot in their back, so I suspect I was close to the end!
I love the throbbing art style with blank walls, it complements the theme of madness really well. The atmosphere is oppressive and I liked the sound effects very much. I jumped more than one time when I stepped into traps. Having to part with party members one by one is suitably stressful, too 😁 The movement is really snappy, and I love the control scheme that I found very intuitive and allows for some tactical planning.
I would have liked to have an indicator of the direction I'm facing to facilitate orientation, because exploring was already made harder by the fact that are the walls are blank and the rooms are bare, but it's not a bad thing that you are never too comfortable in this dungeon.
All in all I had a great time, and I happily retried several times, congrats for a great game!
