Thank you for playing and commenting.
And yes, you have absolutely valid points. The map is just not good, as it was the part I invested the least time in. Big mistake!
There are two keyholes in the map, they are pretty close together. I should have color coded them or something. The cross plates are HP or mana healing tiles. And the skeleton talked about the heart, but I stupidly typed brain. And then he won´t react at all, because you are supposed to destroy the heart with the press in the north west of the map. And you have to activate the press first. So much hassel to go through. Next time I will pay much more attention to signposting, giving out hints etc.
The QE turning stuff seems to be the default for most games, I am just used to do it the other way around, next year I will succumb to the standard way of doing things ;)
