 *When going down a regular set of stairs, you get the '''Peek''' status that allows you to preview the next floor. During Peek, you can go back up without spending time on the lower floor (note: you still wait 1.5 turns after going back up). You also get to view the location of all 3 stairs, and the surrounding area of said stairs.
 **Using an [[escape hatch]] or [[shaft]] does not let you peek, so you get none of the above benefits.

 **[[Ignis]]' Rising Flame ability still lets you go up a floor.
 *A '''Debt''' mechanic is introduced. If you don't have enough [[gold]], you can still buy items from a [[shop]]. Doing so puts you into debt, which prevents you from buying other items until it is cleared. Any gold you collect is used to pay off debt. Debt is exactly equal to <code>price - current_gold</code>; there is no interest, and there are no other downsides to going into debt.
