>I think knowing what the ascension kit contains doesn't necessarily break the fun or the challenge of the game. It just makes it possible to win (whereas, while flying blind, you probably won't win the game given a normal human life span and a normal working adult's amount of available free time and willingness to keep playing and experiencing YASD after YASD).
I didn't know what "YASD" meant so had to search it. Neat! I learned something new.
And on that same note, there is an entire game based entirely around YASD/YAAD! "I Wanna Be The Guy" a game about dying in a million different unpredictable and stupid ways combined with many ways to kill yourself through user error or forgetfulness.
I'm not sure if the completion of IWBTG is at all comparable with NetHack as I'm not too familiar with NetHack.
It's also about memorizing the tricks. I would recommend finding videos of it from Awesome Games Done Quick or Summer Games Done Quick. Bonus! An even more challenging variant exists: I Wanna Be The Boshi.
Here's the Boshi speedrun, it's entertaining even if I would never want to play myself.
