This hold is... not very good. I can already list a few flaws from my last playthrough to make sure it's beatable, at least - no check points, a couple rooms are either overly difficult, or just repetative, and that's not mentioning the eye-scaring 'art'... but hey, I slapped it together in a few hours in response to a female friend of mine (Who is NOT named Anna, by the way :P) complaining that all the DROD characters are male.

Uses the DROD: AE style conversions heavily, including making a couple references to the styles, so you'll probably want those installed. If anyone REALLY wants them, I can upload the portrait and sprites for the female lead, but frankly, they suck.

Gripes with DROD from this exercise: Why can't NPCs detect if there are any monsters in the room? ("wait for clean room" only works if it hasn't been empty before - say, it won't work if the monsters are created by scripts at the end of a cutscene.)

Why didn't you rectify at least the checkpoints before uploading it? :\

Try "wait for/while entity monster at [entire room's coordinates]".

... Oh, that would work, wouldn't it? I should try that... maybe I can get rid of those eyes, I didn't want them there but they were needed the way I was doing it before.
