I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".

Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?

There is no shame in making use of f5 and f7. What build are you using and does it align with the way you want to interact with the game? If you’re losing health off physical checks, as an example, go for a more physical build or don’t dump stat it and wait until you have the right items.

Oh, and get the can bag asap so you’ll have money for restore items. Those can save you. In case you didn’t know, you can have one health or morale, fail the check, and use the restore item before hitting continue to survive.
