Sorry, how the hell did you die 5+ times?

Just jump on a box...?

Also as for not being as scary as Penumbra, I agree. Probably due to a few factors;

- the player character reacting and auto-looking. It seems like, if something was scary, the character would react first, so you sort of use him as a guide for if you should be scared or not. And it's sort of awkward if something is BOO scary, and then you both gasp. Not sure.

- The atmosphere was condensed due to the demo. A blog talks about how they cut lots of content to fit in a demo - I'm sure it'll be much more tense later on.

- And yeah like you said, we know the mechanics of Penumbra already. We know what happens if we die. We know what happens if we're spotted. I think half my fear in Penumbra was never having any contact with enemies until like half way through the game. Once I realized the world doesn't explode when I die, it took a lot of tension off. Still - they can be around any corner!
