I'm assuming that you died and re-emerged from the pool of blood. Make your way through your bedroom (upper right hand corner, to the right of Hades); pick a weapon; and then exit through the bottom-right of the hall. If you don't know where that is, it's south-east from where the dummy-skeleton is. You can exit by hitting the right bumper.

Keys unlock new features in the mirror in Zagreus's bedroom (to the right of Lord Hades's desk). Spend Darkness (purple teardrop pickups) in the mirror to improve your chances of winning and acquire yet more strength. It will get easier later. You will open up things in the mirror that give you health and extend your health bar every time you pick up Darkness, for example, or improve the damage you deal to enemies when backstabbing, or get extra lives.

Not everything that you will get is visible at the start, because you have to advance story with various characters to acquire certain rewards. Eventually you will get new weapons and dramatic abilities for those weapons, as well as magical items that give you constant benefits, and even drone AIs that assist you in battle.

For now, don't worry about dying. You're meant to do that. Your efforts are never wasted, since the only things you leave behind on death are gold and boons. Everything else, you bring back to the underworld with you and gets used to buy advancement in the game. I know it feels really cruel at first but you're going to hit a point where you become super tough and you intentionally take on extra challenges to make the game harder again (in exchange for bigger rewards).

[edit] Oh, and... If you switch on God Mode (can be toggled on/off), you get a little increment of damage reduction every time you "lose", so you can get stronger that way too if you want

Thank you for the helpful responses here. OP, could you say more about where you got stuck and what happened? Was it in the House trying to find out where to exit? We'd appreciate any details as we want this to be clear.
