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 don’t think a unilateral GM and the mother-may-I it implies

You really sound like you don't trust the GMs you play with. If that's the case, why are you playing with them.

I probably shouldn’t have posted in an OSR thread knowing I dislike the genre.

Yes.

I didn't like the last few GMs decisions and calls, so I don't play with them anymore.
