I'm scared of how quickly I got used to the UI and colours.

This game's dev forgot to switch on armor values doing anything for two years, and nobody noticed.

Jokes aside, Cruelty Squad is just a good im-sim. After a few hours, if you can make it that long, your eyes adjust to the aesthetic. You don't even notice the pulsating health blob after a while. The game rewards exploring the levels as much as you can with new weapons and new gear. There's so many ways to traverse the levels and take down your targets. The game 'punishes' you in the start when you inevitably die multiple times in the first level (it's a hard game, especially at first) by turning down the difficulty and giving you the ability to [redacted] to restore health, but constantly telling you that you're on easy mode now, you're a worm, a useless pile of waste and frankly kind of stinky. The way you restore a higher difficulty is through proving you're good enough to deserve it.

The game's very good. Getting good at the game *feels* very good.
My tips;
Get fishing
Invest in CIVs
Harvest every organ you find
Have fun
