Placeholder music has been replaced by the (work-in-progress) real music by Will Goss! Very excited to continue developing the sound of the game. In the meantime, I'm continuing to add more content and more quality-of-life features to flesh out the game.

Turns out a lot of the "feel" of a roguelike lives in how it paces its encounters, so this is something I'll be tuning behind the scenes for quite some time.
