Your Demo Failed

[Unreal]

Let me start simply with time. The demo took about 45 minutes for me to complete. Judging from a typical value of demos being 1/4 - 1/5 of the total length of a game, I decided it was not worth my $20 for 4-5 hours of entertainment.

Wow, which demos? Never seen one of those.

Me either. Most demos are less than 1/20th of a game. As far as Amnesia's demo is concerned, it gave a good taste of what the game offers. And apparently, it did it's job WELL. Dozens of people have done Let's Plays of the DEMO, let alone the full game- they're that impressed! Forums all over the gaming world have been talking all about Amnesia and it's demo. I anticipate Amnesia to far outsell Penumbra. The amazing demo is one reason why.
