Losing 500 points for 3 zilches is arbitrary and a punishment for things outside of yoru control. Sometimes you just can't get the 300 points before losing.
Wouldn't be so hard if everything weren't completely random. I had the doctor get infected 3 times in the first 10 days, and he and the engineer both went from 5 morale to running off in the same night.
The twist was fairly obvious (leaving things where they don't belong is an obvious sign) and was expecting a more brain-teasing experience from a game called Escher.
A few notes. 1: I know its supposed to be intense, but turn off the shaky cam when the hydra/giraffe roars. When there are ten of them on the screen, the cam shakes CONSTANTLY.
2. The Giraffe-headed hydras a) deal too much damage; I literally got knocked out as soon as the match started once. 2) have too wide of an attack range; Most other monsters, you can find a sweet spot to hit from, but they swing their heads 360 degrees for an unavoidable hit.
3: I see you use the skyrim system of damage -> momentum. Very nice.
10/10, love this game.
