That was me. Screenshot of the very last save, last boss heavily damaged.
I've always been good at games though, often able to beat them a fare bit faster than average, even if it is from a sub-genre that I'm unfamiliar with (which Grimrock is, I've only had some very limited experience with grid-based dungeon crawlers in the past).
Completion rate was poor though.
Just finished - 13 hours or so on the clock with game time. Did rack up 60 secrets (but only 3 treasures), going to be a tough search for the rest! Can't think of anything that I wasted too much time on, slow but steady and a decent percentage clear that I'm quite happy with. I have trouble believing it's possible to get a high secret score on 8 hours of play unless you're playing through then reloading and doing it all faster.
According to steam, I've been playing for 12 hours and I'm only beginning floor 5. I've taken a lot of time to go sightseeing and many of my battles have been drawn out affairs due to abusing the AI (standing in a doorway and closing it when i need to rest, for example).
I'm also pretty sure I've missed a ton of secrets/treasures, so I suspect my next playthrough will be longer as I search every corner of the map. Might even go old school mode, which will add that much more time.
Doesn't phase me, though. What else am I gonna do while we wait for new dungeons and mods?
