I am really bad at these kind of games, but I still find them very fun. I love all the experimentation that needs to take place in order to survive. Amulets.. they cost a lot.
teaching all the individual mechanics in an easy mode or tutorial would improve the main game loop experience as there will be less trial and error for the player if they have experienced the individual mechanics such as withering before getting into the game when it really matters.
I loved it though and had a very enjoyable time struggling to buy an amulet on twitch.
