"Survival horror" is a coined word created to sell products. Nothing more.Not gonna last long if you can't tell the difference between video game jargon and the normal English language.
The survival elements are also counter-intuitive to the enemy layout and quite a few of the levels. There are a couple of RE4-esque mandatory combat sections where you're forced to fight dozens and dozens of enemies, in a game where you're usually lucky if you've got 18 bullets for your pistol and 8 shells for your shotgun. Not to mention a couple of really badly designed boss encounters, all of whom are either bullet sponges or have weaknesses that are never that well displayed or indicated, and all of whom have instant kill moves, some of which trigger when you're only on something like a third of your health, others being the only method of attack the enemy has.
The game's story also reminds me of what'd happen if Wes Craven tried to emulate David Lynch. Really badly.

You can do just fine.
