Hello, I like to ask about the 3 subjects: Lodgings, Wounds & Nightmares, and Devils
The game has a wide selection of housing. At present I managed to draw the card to buy the Smoky Flophouse. Should I buy it? It costs Apalling Secrets, I hesitate because I suspect it will be harder to get secrets late in the game. It would seem prudent to save up secrets instead of throwing it at a flophouse. The ultimate, best lodgings is a room at the Brass Embassy right? What are your thoughts?
For Wounds and Nightmares, are they are danger to my character? It has a been a bit chancy to keep Nightmare down. I have to invite people to confessions and I was lucky to draw a couple opportunity cards which brought Nightmares down. But should I be tiptoeing around Wounds and Nightmares?
In my efforts to try for the Room at the Brass Embassy, and I suspect the Devil route should be the more profitable one later in game, my character have been getting connected to Hell. Will there come a Point of No Return? Will my character at some time get in deep enough, he/she will be unable to repair relations with the side of Good (Constables, Church, etc)?

There is a bonus story on the slow boat, actually - being a Courier for the Dead, or something like that. Not to mention playing chess with the Boatman, which some people make a hobby of. Does it take longer to get out of than the others? I'm sure someone's run the numbers. It doesn't have a luck-based back door like New Newgate, but you can bribe your way out (to a certain degree) like the Tomb-Colonies.
Edited to add: not to mention, you can always save up and buy some Hesperidean Cider, and then you never have to worry about it again!
