Pretty good. There's no instant death, so things can be prevented if you're careful & paying attention.
But if you're not reacting to the bad things that happen... I think you'll likely die within a few days.

Adventure Tips:

ask locals questions
read signs
remember the statue in the market
shop in the market for adventure gear, food - not everything will be available all the time
skills can impact results in RPG text-style adventure aspects
not every location will always be available

* (Feb. 15 livestream)

Archaeology

portable archaeology workbench can be used to authenticate artifacts
Relics (some?) can be activated, usually on someone else

* (Feb. 15 livestream)

Relics (some?) can be activated, usually on someone else
One can summon a "skeleton helper": Golden Totacallama Relic
Summoned Service Skeleton is not part of your family
You can have one per Sim
Some relics will temporarily change yourself or someone else into a skeleton (for several days); it can be cured
Not all curses/blessings are skeleton-related

I'm pretty busy, so I'd be relying on you for a lot of links anyway. Maybe I should just delete this one?? Your call on that! I'm fine either way. Let me know which you'd rather :)
