Yes
You unlock them in the altar of hope, 8 candles per unlock.
Yes, it's a game over. It's like "This run sucks! Let's restart!"

So you can finish the game in just one run? its a rogue like but with no permanent upgrades?

Pretty much. The game runs are only a few hours long each. A loss is a total loss, besides the candles (Alter of Hope), but it's not progression in the way the hamlet was.

Your permanent upgrades are hero shrines (Unlocking abilities.) and candles are used to earn items you can find in the world, heroes, etc.

no, you can not finish the game in one run. there are 5 "chapters". even if you win on your first attempt, that's only the first chapter completed.

But the chapters don't connect to each other, do they?

If you want to make a sort-of-comparison with the first game:

Each chapter would be like a different dungeon, while the shrine would be like the hamlet.

The main difference being that you don't have a permanent roster of heroes and equipment like in the first.

Thank you.
