So I've actually bought this game when it was on sale but haven't really given it a try yet. I'm guessing it's a roguelike?
Extending on aski3252's comment - it's also brutal. There isn't much handholding at all, and its one of those "knowledge is power" games where you'll be dying a lot before you make any progress.
I highly suggest giving it some honest efforts before deciding it isn't your speed. I refunded this game after hating it for 15m, watched some videos that are aimed at new players / highlight wand mechanics, and then immediately purchased it again / threw 40 hours into the title since. I haven't yet won a run, but I know it's going to be fulfilling when I do, and this game opens up so much freedom once you understand the rules & constraints of the physics.
You can also mod down the difficulty. I tend to play with a mod that provides a slow health regen.
