Has anyone heard of this game? I got the demo from Steam yesterday (the game comes out in a few days), and I loved it.
It's a first person survival horror, and it truly is survival horror. I believe it's by the people who made Penumbra.
I preordered it because it was quite a fun demo. Playing it in the dark with headphones was the best. I'm pretty sure the sound alone was what made me love it so much.

Of course, I preordered it a looong time ago, back when they had the preorder bonus bar.
And the demo, my god, it looks and sounds GREAT even on my bastard of a computer.
Also, you get serials for both the Steam version and non-DRM download (Windows, Mac, Linux AND Steam!) with no additional fee - quite a good deal if you ask me.

Yeah, I bought it for my MacBook Pro. I was disappointed to find out Penumbra wasn't for Mac, so when I saw this was, I got really excited.

I guess only the Alexes were compelled to preorder. I bought mine so long ago that they were discussing doing commentary if enough folks preordered
Been looking forward to this one for quite some time, thanx for reminding me

I pre-ordered it back when the Humble Indy Bundle was going on and there were like 300 pre-orders in. Haven't had a chance to play it yet though. Overwhelmingly positive reception. So far the only remotely negative thing I've seen about it is one person who admitted they couldn't get too far because they're too much of a wuss.

Cenobite and I must be using the same playbook... I got my copy under the exact same circumstances
I have stopped playing cos I am too busy doing art but I did get as far as the gaol

I'm playing it. It's good, though the games made by the Penumbra guys really get me tired, psychologicaly speaking. I stoped playing Penumbra because it was so jarring. Having no way to defend yourself is great but terribly stressful at the same time - at least to me. It's a lot worse than playing, for example, Silent Hill. So I have to play in smaller sessions. Still, these games are very good. I approve. The one thing that annoys me a bit is how much of a coward the guy is. Five seconds with no lights on and he's already loosing his sanity. And it's not like there's shit going on like in SH. The guy is just in an old house with nothing trying to kill him at the beggining, and he still can't spend 5 seconds in the dark before flipping out. Come on... That's a bit much. >_>

He is haunted by a presence that can only find him in the darkness, hence the san loss. If this bothers you, it is easily disabled in the config file...
