ERRATA:

55.30 After further consideration, I would translate the urges as Violence, Lust, Status, Gluttony, Life

1.03.00 There is a very subtle fade to grey on screens with bottomless pits, but it took me 55 hours of gameplay to notice it. My complaint about how illogical the bottomless pits are still stands.
