Anyone else trying this out on the XBO? It's hilariously bad, they've given you an hour to play. You start off naked and freezing to death in the pitch black, and forget adjusting the brightness because you can't. Turned it off after less than 5 minutes as it appears to be a game about stumbling blindly in the dark whilst freezing your backside off. Collecting wood for a fire also somehow killed me, as did punching a trilobyte. Greatly disappointed considering I was looking forward to giving it a bash all day.

No, I didn't give it very long because it's a terrible, frustrating demo. If you're showing off a game, give people some fun stuff to do! :(
 
I'll give it another go, I was rather easily frustrated earlier, I must admit. It still seems like only giving you an hour from starting with nothing is a bit rum though, especially with no hints. I got as far as dying whilst searching for flint to make a torch.

The lighting is another frustration. It will be better now as it's dark but I couldn't see a thing earlier because of reflections. By far the most disappointing thing is the fact I know from YT that the game is great, I just won't find out for myself because I wasted half an hour (5 mins was an exaggeration) just running blindly and dying.
