The perils of the Unterzee care nothing for age or success. Playing in hardcore mode, only one thing is certain - you WILL die, and your choices are irreversible.
So far, I've avoided "Merciful" mode just because the game is so clearly intended to be played with death always following on your coattails.
Does "winning" with your Invictus Token in your hold make any difference compared to having lost it?

We had a long serious conversation just before launch about whether we should keep permadeath as the default, or switch to Merciful Mode as the default.
We left is as it was because this was the way the game was originally designed, and last-minute changes usually affect more than is intended; but no-one will judge you if you play Merciful, least of all the dev team!

The Whisper-Locked Puzzlebox should appear for new captains if you've synced with your FL account since getting it, just as with the bonus Parabolan Kitten or Panther, Advice for the Navigator, and Long-Box.

There's a Steam achievement... otherwise, no. It's pure bragging rights. Personally, I play on Merciful mode all the time, 'cause I enjoy experimenting and building up a character more than I enjoy the thrill of barely cheating permadeath!
