Ok, as an update to my last comment on here, I tried out both Penumbra demos and was totally impressed.
I know I had played a demo for it before though. Maybe it was an earlier demo or maybe even a tech demo. I just remember that I didn't care for it. It was completely different from the demo that's available now.
At any rate, I'll probably pick up Penumbra to play while waiting for this.

The atmosphere in Penumbra was top notch. Then I kept getting killed by a badly textured demon dog and I quit in frustration. I should probably go back and try playing through again, but the pace (not to mention lack of combat) of the game takes some getting used to for this long-time FPS junkie.
Get the dogs to chase you into the cages with the steam pipes and then open the steam valves to kill them. Part 2 is more refined, better overall gameplay.
Excellent, looking forward to this. Pre ordered!

I was going to but I'd completely forgotten about it!

Yeah, if you approach like an action game, you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise. The game is all about hiding and running away, much like any good survival horror game.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
Definitely looks cool. I'll keep my eye on it.

I had tried the first Penumbra demo, and really didn't care for it at all, so never really followed this dev. I did hear good stuff about Penumbra though.
Anyway, just checked out the site and the vid, and preordered. This game looks really cool. And $16 seems like a steal.
Looking forward to this now, and I'm also downloading the two Penumbra demos. Figure I'll give that another chance.

Awesome. Everyone should pre-order this because Frictional is the only dev still making good survival horror games.
100% spoken for truth. People need to play the Penumbra games.
Yeah, that gameplay video on their site was scary good. 
Can't wait for this.
