Agree quite an interesting game. Not sure on the combat atm, but apart from that it's fab.

Wow strong first impression, rather dark and actually tense, the first time I looked out the window and started to "Panic" the sound made me jump.

Loving it so far. Just can't figure out how to eat. Haha.

Click on food, select it and then click on the heart icon.

Murdering your wife with a pillow to skip the tutorial makes things pretty dark.

Just finished downloading it. Will give it a go later tonight, it looks very intriguing, though.

I'd "pre-order" this if the melee wasn't broken.

I gave the demo a whirl and it was fun but pretty difficult. The first time the psycho showed up I just got my head blown off, and I didn't realise I could "skip" the tutorial so I didn't bother going back in yet. Might give it another shot later, I can see the potential it has.

Oh man, i forgot to turn the oven off so it catched on fire and the fire alarm went off. So i turned the oven off and ran into the other room and BAM! A whole bunch of zombies cornered and killed me in an instant. 
 
I jumped pretty high.

Just so people know, death is inevitable in the game. The fun comes from seeing how long you can survive and your watching you eventual death unfold. The Alpha demo is pretty sparse right now given the extreme amount of bad luck the developers have been getting recently. Other then that, I highly recommend that you try it. There's quite nothing else like it.

This is a really cool game with lots of potential, i might buy it.

Wait a second, aren't all demos free and public?

Well there was a preorder only Alpha "demo" originally.

Zombies are attracted by loud noises, ive never been able to successfully light the first safehouse on fire, any tips?

Edit: just did it, i guess the tutorial oven is the only stove that works one, cool though.

I like how easy it is to get infected, if your not careful you really can get screwed over.

I will definitely check this out.
