Focus on the big picture and delve.
This game is hard, brutal, and unforgiving. More-so then even other intense games like XCOM. Deaths are almost a guarantee - despite all my efforts, several of my 5th and 6th level heroes kicked the bucket near the end (I'm still approaching the end of the game). But as the narrator says "darkness, but the promise of gold and rewards". On that topic, bring lots, and lots of torches until you have your feet under. And lots of food. And a couple shovels/keys. Consumable exploratory items are often what can determine whether a character lives or survive, or more importantly if you get that hefty payout to allow you keep strengthening your characters equipment. Darkest Dungeon is a story about coping with loss. The loss of characters is unfortunate, and extremely frustrating at times. You can try to skirt that, but some is really inevitable. Leveling your characters up and watching them grow is part of the fun, but I think many people don't understand or appreciate that the real progression mechanic of the game is the artifacts and upgrade system of the game. As long as you don't lose your whole party, you can limp back with your precious artifacts. Trying to keep your characters sane is a fun, tense mechanic. Most of the time they crack in the worst ways, but sometimes its the best of ways, and that unexpected victory in the face of expected defeat, triumphing over the worst odds rarely is what makes the game come alive. I might suggest its even the theme of the game, to be perfectly honest. The Lovecraftian style is absolutely amazing - one of the more unhinging, disturbingly beautiful aspects I've seen in years. Perfectionists will be frustrated and broken, powergamers will probably rage as they die a lot in the dark. Just be smart, cut your losses and minimize risks to your truly valuable resources, like a real dungeon manager; suddenly this game becomes a lot more fun. You can get salty when your favorite character dies, but don't let that salt ruin the stew.
