Wonder. [Issue#331]

The game has great controls. Everything is clearly visible, despite the brutal turmoil all around. A harsh critic might be able to point out the lack of a map, but the question is whether the lack of the ability to get your bearings quickly wasn't an intended part of the dark game.
