Yeah, I had it happen to me on Evil mode, but not Insane. Unfortunately, it's too much hassle to code in something that'll figure out where you were when you died and get back to that exact spot. It doesn't matter for Insane anyway (which is the one you're most liekly to die on), since Insane resets the game when you die regardless.
Normal mode is about 10-12 hours I think. Evil I'm unsure, maybe a day and a half-ish? Insane you're looking at 2-3days (which yes, is on the fastest time list, which is why I'm not getting specific)
