Do play it Arwin, the gore or horror is all in the background, atleast going by this demo. You don't feel like u r in a horror game at all ! They have somehow kept it grounded in reality. Felt very special to me, very ! I was also unsure about this game, but the demo has me hooked and convinced.
Played the demo again and found so many more items than the last time. Was able to open a door using a knife, hence losing that knife but got lotsa supplies and in game currencies for it. Was able to upgrade my melee weapon too, the upgrades are lost with the weapon, so its something u will keep doing, as weapons break soon.
Also, again, my encounter went completely in an unexpected way. I can see ppl exploiting the 'listen' mode, but the game is much more fun wihout it as a level of randomness pops in as u really toally on ur brain, audio and guesswork regarding enemy position. Got swarmed again, buthad taken out two runners by then. Surprisingly, I ran away and was able to go back to stealth again ! They lost me
! Then , as I was scavenging for resources, as there were a lot around me, and I was tempted to look around, the thrid runner found me again. Smashed him with a brick and my melee weapon, then ran away from the clicker. Was trying to kill it with my revolver but he cam e too close , finished him off with a knife !
The demo is good, very very good ! Hope ND lets us preload this game. still haven't got any reply regarding preload from ND, On twitter.
