Hey
I'am not an expericed adventureplayer, so I choose no deadend, and now I have dead at least seven times?? Have I misunderstood this feature?

Yes. A dead end isn't where you die. It's where you live, but you can't possibly win the game anymore. For example, if you play with dead ends allowed, the dwarf can steal one of the three main treasures. YoYou can keep playing after this happens, but you're stuck and can't ever win. That's the sort of thing the no dead ends mode avoids.

l think it might actually also prevent some stupid deaths, but they're not the main point.
