[ozmiz]

Boring day so I was hitting pause on the video to try and get some ideal of the character generation and game mechanics, I thought I would post here my notes in case anyone else was interested. Edit: Also added a couple notes made from screen captures.

There's a thread about playtime over here.

About 10+ hours depending on how dungeon crawler veteran you are. But to find all the secrets and hidden stuff prepare to spend long time in the dungeons.
