Demo - How far should I be able to get? - ChocolatePie - 03-21-2008
Hi,
Got to the map and I'm trying to get to either the store room or the office but everytime I creep round the corner, with no light at all, I get attached by a dog. The walkthrough says "go to the storage area" but no clues how to get there and I can't seem to sneak past this dog or defend myself.
Should I be able to get further than this, or is this the end of the demo?

Demo ends there when the dog attacks...

It's not that big, but it's worth of trying anyway!

Oh, is that it?!
I don't object to buying the game, and probably will, I just thought there'd be more to the demo than opening a hatch, pushing over a shelf, turning a handle, reading a map, then getting killed off. I don't seem to have done anything yet!
Oh well, I'll have to try and order the game. The download is pretty big, so I'll have to stay up to the wee small hours otherwise my ISP will shout at me (even though I'm on so called "unlimited" bandwidth, hardy ha ha!).
I guess I would've expected to sneak past at least one enemy in the demo. Usually a demo lets you practice your skills etc. and I haven't got to creep/sneak/hide/jump or do anything like that. Still the game is inexpensive to purchase, so I'll probably order today. However, if the game was more expensive, I probably wouldn't be risking it based on such a short demo.
