I built a Dwarf Fortress fort and everybody died because I breached a cavern with a Forgotten Beast in it, and then my miner proceeded to sleep on the exact tile of the breach thereby blocking me from ordering others to close the hole.
Sounds like you had fun
There was corrosive fog.
Gratuitous amounts of fun were had considering my entire fortress was borrowed and the other side of that wall. Their eyes boiled in their skulls.

I've heard of this game quite a few times. Is it difficult to play?
Yes. Many people believe it has the steepest learning curve of any video game. That is to say, there is no learning curve. It is a vertical line of infinite slope.
With that said, it’s absolutely worth it in my opinion, and the Steam version has done a lot to make the game more playable for a general audience.
I am happy to attempt to answer any questions you may have.
It is probably the most complicated game out there. I believe the devs are actually insane. They are trying to create a life simulation with dwarfs in a fantasy land:
