Frozen Depth 1.02 released!
Conker:
Similar dumb question - how do I sacrifice? The manual says go to a shrine and press 'u', but that doesn't seem to work. The first time, a little demon came and fireballed my equipment (lovely). Now nothing happens. I've got a load of silver statues I want to offer up, so the Goddess might uncurse my weapon/ring.

There are actually two different types of shrines (surprise!!). The one that you described is a Spirit Shrine. When 'u'sed, it bestows a random effect on you- and they aren't always good. Those are one shot deals. The other one is a Goddess Shrine (specifically named so, but uses the same symbol). When you 'u'se it, it brings you to the sacrifice menu. These can be used again and again.
Now, I have yet to sacrifice enough that she likes me enough to respond to my prayers, but I gather you sacrifice first, then attempt to pray (press the '_' symbol). Good luck!

Thanks a lot! One less thing to figure out.
DisaffectedBeta:
Two things in this game I wouldn't mind seeing in Doom:
A maze with a lot of thick walls with narrow corridors and nested rooms like Frozen Depths, and most of all, a pause that occurs every time the player takes enough damage to be near death.
*goes to bed*

The only problem with the second idea is that in hectic situations, upwards of 60% health can be lost in a single round. It's rarely not noticing my health level that kills me, anyway.
After an evening of playing, FD does seem to have some neat features, such as the shrines, instant-use scrolls, the whole warmth thing, but it's a bit too luck-based for my tastes, in terms of equipping cursed items, stat gains, etc. I'll be keeping an eye on it though.
Best run: Killed the second boss on my ninth go at the game, only to die to a potion of acid that did around 70+hp damage when I opened it. Meh.
