@epic-koryuken: Did you even watch the trailer? it was creepy as fuck and it didn't even show an enemy, just really damn well built tension, i'm definitely interested.
Tried the demo. Not big into survival horror but I was digging this. Also the catch that you can't really fight back really makes it a unique game. Probably going to buy it
Dear Destructoid crew:
Been trying to reach you with a review copy, but not sure you got it. So doing an attempt to get some confirmation here :) Can contact us here:

And hope all liked the gameplay trailer! Our poor artist Marc had to play through the sequence 50 times or so before his evil boss was happy.

What the hell?
The trailer was absolute crap! It was someone running in water while hearing "BOOM" occasionally.
Come on, I'm easy to scare. And if you can't scare me, then you really suck.

The trailers I've seen are interesting, but they're so damn dark that I can't even see what's happening in most of it. It reminds me of the good parts of Dark Corners of the Earth, though. Y'know, the entire first portion before they decide to arm you. I'll give the demo a shot later and hope the visuals are a little more...visual.
@epic-koryuken: Maybe you should find out something about this game and developer before you start shooting your mouth off.
That said I can't play this game. Frictional games scare the fuck out of me. I can't take the atmosphere.

The Penumbra games were awesome, and with real survival horror titles being so few and far between these days (not be confused with action-horror, a la Dead Space and RE5), this is a total day 1 purchase for me.
The fact that the doors open inwards scares the fucking shit out of me. I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I get absolutley terrified during chase scenes.
Demo was a little disappointing, maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind. I still want to try out the full game though.
I pre-ordered months ago because I wanted it but also to get the commentary on there. :-) I don't want to see any more media on this because I want all the thrills and chills all to be fresh when I play this week!!! Frictional has HANDS DOWN the best atmosphere in gaming these days. SO many other devs spend tons and add all sorts of extra ridiculousness to a formula that Frictional makes look elementary. Genius.
After playing Penumbra Overture, no, I'm not buying this. Way too scary - And I don't scare easily.
Frictional, I hope you make loads of money. You're making better horror games than any of the big-name companies are right now.

Anyone using the word 'generic' doesn't know what they're talking about and should be ignored.
Whether you like their games or not, Frictional are doing something that is unique, sadly, in gaming today. They make true horror games. I would take out the "survival" part, as that has too many connotations.
Their games are all about atmosphere. You know the feeling you got when telling scary stories around a campfire as a kid? That's not it. It's the feeling you got AFTER having heard those stories, then being alone in the woods at night.
Great stuff, Frictional. Just preordered, can't wait till the 8th. Keep it up!

Hey Frictional, any chance this gets ported over to 360/PS3/Wii (even)? My poor 6-year old laptop can't take it anymore (and I am saving up for some other sweet stuff).
This reminds me that I need to continue playing Penumbra: Overture. Video is all colours of wonderfully fucked-up.
The Penumbra games were a masterepiece, I barely kept playing due to me being an easily scared pussy. However, I loved the world, and gained real respect for the developer. This game looks nothing short of amazing, and the demo is also certainly creepy.
*turns brightness to max*
Woah that looks pretty... intense. I've never played the penumbra games, but I like what I'm seeing and reading in the comments.
Oh yeah and I only play horror games in broad daylight. I dunno how that'll affect my enjoyment.
