Ah, yes, I had in my mind it was on par with Aliens but probably a step above that gore-wise.
Based on OP's likes The Thing is spot on
When you are doing the On Diet challenge Honeyed Healing will be very useful; assuming you aren't also doing Pharmacaphobia
Well you can check off your '1m badge still completable' test case! The run almost ended so many times, felt like a real accomplishment. Thanks so much for continuing to improve the game
Forgot to add that this was my first run with Unstable enchantment and 10/10 would do again. It created such glorious chaos
Completed 1mill score badge using Warrior and 7 challenges. Kept Pharmacaphobia and Faith Is My Armor turned off. An early Stone Plate and Ring of Arcana made me near invincible to physical damage. Struggled with food/magic in the Hells and had trouble finding a good weapon so finally pumped my upgrades and enchantment into Runic Blade. Used all my Ankhs and a lot of close calls, especially with eyes and scorpions, but in the end ascended!
Very challenging run that took every edge I could get with runes/scrolls/potions to complete.
