When I started watching this, it turned into something I wasn't quite expecting:

​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

good lord I see what you mean... I'm certainly interested. Survival horror seems to be having a glorious comeback at the moment, and I couldn't be happier. Will check this out for sure.

Wow graphics look very nice, gameplay looks a bit scary :sad:

Scared the bejesus out of me when that thing jumped at him in the cave. Nice happy place in the daylight, Minecraft on steroids at night. I think I like it.

Ah, nothing more therapeutic than chopping down a tree. Ah, now he's making a little bonfire...wait...was that...no...ok, well now I see what you mean. The game looks great. Perhaps like a minecraft like game...build during the day, survive at night? Obviously with different aims graphically.

It says it's designed for Oculus rift. I will definitely be getting one of those, and if this game is *the* game to show off forest environments with that technology, I'll get it. The only down side is, if you soil yourself in Oculus rift, you soil yourself in real life.
Juggling Hard Disks over concrete floors ends in tears 5% of the time.

Ahh, Oculus rift.... seems a new dimension in horror games will soon be unleashed on all http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/201156/Behind_that_terrifying_Oculus_Rift_horror_game.php

I'm currently loving Sir You Are Being Hunted which is a more humorous but quite scary survival game, and this looks like somethimng in the same vein although with superior graphics. I've always loved the slower stealthy sneaky type game as opposed to a mad run and gun FPS. Will certainly keep an eye on it. Anything with multiplayer/co-op would certainly be interesting from a dMw community view.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

Gandalf that game looks interesting for sure, but man I can't stand the guy in the video...

Had a brief go at it this evening, it looks very nice, you don't get enough resources to fight, so it's stealth all the way. Seems like it will come along with some rather tactical resources to take out the hunters. 750Mb, shows good looking games don't need to be 10GB.

Did you say naked men? I'm in.

Just bought, will try tonight whilst Corrie's on. Although Corrie has some pretty scary storylines at the moment. The Rovers ran out of bitter last week.

I was pretty underwhelmed when I bought it. The physics was way off, with logs that rolled for miles and objects you could throw for hundreds of yards. The AI was buggy as well. It seems reasonable that much of this should be fixed by now so I'll take another look.
