Exactly what the title says. I think everyone here agrees that entering this game blind or at least semi-blind is a very unique and precious experience.

I'll start! So, I actually stumbled upon F&H from a porn site of all things. No idea who gets off to this game, but I found it curious, tried it out, got immediately dunked on by a jellyfish, bounced off. The New Gods podcast talks about how this is a common experience; people try it, bounce off, but the experience sticks to them, you never managed to leave the dungeons of fear and hunger, so to speak.

Next, youtube recommended me a small channel, Frapollo94, and that dormant memory of the game was awakened. Upon seeing that there was more to it than "haha, hard game, coinflips", and after seeing that you could get The Girl and Moonless, I immediately jumped back in. The girl and Moonless became my anchors. These dungeons are horrible and unforgiving, but I would not let any harm come to them. I bonded with them, and they were the reason why I pushed through to the end, reloading whenever either of them so much as lost a limb.

I ended up finding out the Leave and Ascension endings before I ever looked anything up, and the rest is history~

BONUS: Tell me if there are any fun first experiences on youtube! I'd love to watch those.
