I played it extensively like a decade ago. Never ascended though, it's just too difficult. My experience after discovering the game was one of being overwhelmed. Every single keyboard button has multiple functions, there's so much stuff happening and you're just stumbling around in a world whose rules you don't understand. (Like real life.) After some time, I've dived into the spoilers file and gave it an extensive read. I realized that it would have taken years of playing figuring all this game mechanics out. And that even when spoiled, the game remains a lot of fun. (Again, like real life.) What remains are fond memories and the realization that I'll probably never finish it in my lifetime. And I'm ok with that. So yes, it's complex and complicated, but rewarding.
