Hi dark
I agree it’s a good game and worth the persevering with, I think it does a good job of filling the back story to a dark room really nicely , I also like the bit once completed where you get to listen to the videos from the developer talking about the game and why he built it the way he did. I think of the two games although they are both good I think my favourite is still a dark room, I vaguely remember someone saying there had been an update to a dark room, not sure what if anything was added at that stage, but I think I might give both games another go.

If I remember rightly, whether you get upgrades is attached to how often you die, as is the health of one particularly brutal enemy. As Paul said the game is meant to be harsh and need you to die a while, however the later game is awesome and has some fantastic systems as well as lots to explore and some really difficult moral choices. I really enjoyed it myself and intend to play it again when I have some time. All the best, Dark.
