Thank you for giving the game a chance!

I know that it would greatly benefit from a tutorial, but I was out of time. The most important thing that you seem to not be doing enough is tricking enemies into coming from the side there you have a weapon. That would not only save you from the damage, but give you some energy for killing them.

With the newfound energy it would be much easier to explore, notice the generational patterns for things and adapt.

Got it! with the knight who became a mage. Double pump + move on one key. Scream on another. I could kill everything super easily and regain all my life with the double pump ^^

Congratulations!
Yeah, Pump-stacking is a thing. But I'm surprised you did it with Scream only, well done. I usually got overwhelmed pretty quickly.
