    I agree. The most important technical aspect of video games is the "interactivity". Starting with the program that we call "games" it creates frame by frame on the spot based on our inputs or "decisions". Whilst I do not know the specifics of the demo itself-maybe the demo was intended to show off the graphics engine, and if this was the case my point is some-what dulled- it draws the drama and storytelling purely from the narration and non-interactive visuals, like a movie lacking as a game.

    Pretty good game. The story could really have used some tightening up but it was something new and fun. I'm wondering if the Taxidermist DLC is worth buying.
