The game is beautiful and fun.  But I am at almost at the end of level
1 and I keep getting killed on easy mode!  I thought I got everything
when underground but I have no ammo now (can't find any), only a
pistol (have no idea what happened to the other weapons I had) and am
getting killed all the time.  Running out of water, etc.... Can't find
a place to sleep.  Aargh!!!

If this keeps up, I may just quit the darn game! :-)
