I will try this again later. But I clicked like a maniac on the XP button, which seemed not do do anything after a while. Maybe the cool voice overs distraced me too much from the rest. There are no subtiles, right? As being not a native speaker, I have to use more of my brain power to listen to the voice ;)

You're not the first person to mention the overload right at the start, we were actually working on a subtitle system today as it happens. But it's all a bit late.
I would say this game a case of, you have to go slow to go fast. If I may offer a couple of small pieces of advice:
You want to take battles slowly at the start, and focus on getting upgrades (on the right of the screen) as well as finding healing stations. As you get some gear and click the upgrades for gear, weapons and maschochism on the right hand side, everything gets alot easier and you'll have more comfort in exploring. The '!' markers are different colours depending on danger, blue is safest, then yellow, then red.
There is one healing station to the room on the right when you start, and two are in the open room directly infront of you from when you start (towards the rocket). Then they start to reset and you can use them over and over.
After this, it all becomes much easier and it'll be pretty much impossible for you to die, it's just the first couple of fights that can be a bit scary to start.
Hope you get on a bit better this time, I would hate for you to have such a horrible time and not get to see anything.
EDIT: I've drawn a small map - just incase it helps to you get you up and running.
