if only there was an option highlighted in bright colors at the top of the game page explaining that the difficulty can be reduced to the point where you will no longer fail sections. oh well.
Ah I understand, no worries. I did take another pass yesterday to reduce the base difficulty of every section, so it should be a little easier now. I'm not willing to remove the startup sequence text entirely since it's relevant to the underlying story but I did shave it down by about 30%. Might do one more update today to further reduce the difficulty.
