Shadowdark RPG - Opinions? (lemmy.world)

Has anyone tried this game? It's yet another take on modernizing OSR, which apparently has gathered a few enthusiastic players.

I've heard that it doesn't do anything new, but what is there, it's excellent. I've been feeling the itch for a dungeon crawl for quite some time now (all my parties have been playing narrative-heavy DnD5e/5.5 and it's becoming a bit stale tbh), so I wanted to master something different. Do you have experience with Shadowdark? Would you recommend it? Is there something I should pay attention to? Tips on how to run OSR?

I played my first session tonight (level 5 one shot) and it was pretty fun. I wish it had a more open license so that there would be a public SRD, but that's a minor complaint.
