What you should have done in this game is to gradually introduce each game mechanic to the player. For example, in the beginning, have the player only be responsible for blood circulation and oxygen. Then, after 30s or so, the guy starts to lose water, and then nutrition after 60s. Once I got the hang of it, the game was really cool. It's just so unfortunate it was so difficult in the beginning.\n\nA good rule of thumb for any game is that the player should never be able to die within the first 30 seconds of the game, no matter how bad they are.
