Can you die / get a game over? *Spoilers, but probably not*

I thought that this game was going to be great, but then I heard that you had to hide from monsters. I've bought and downloaded the game, but haven't played it yet. I'm reluctant to even try because I could possibly get pwned by a monster while trying to relax and explore. Could someone tell me if I could possibly die or lose because of game ruining monsters? If so, I'll probably contact Sony and demand my money back, I really don't need to have online partners chewing me out every time a game over happens because I potentially suck at this game. Too much stress.

I read a Game Informer review, there was a pie graph that showed what percentages of stuff they did. It had a part that was 10% that said, 'Taking cover to hide from floating serpent creatures'. Sounds pretty stressful to me.
