Hey there,
thank you so much for trying out my demo and giving me this elaborate feedback. This means a lot to me!
The game indeed is a bit unforgiving now. It was designed to create something like a souls-like experience and the game will stay hard. BUT you are definitely right, that the start may be just too hard and some people may lose motivation to fight through it.
I'll consider your feedback and improve further versions.
Thank you! <3
