Yea, I tried messing with the setlocale.cfg file but couldnt work out what to change it to. Typing 'English' doesnt work. :Oo:

Got some great things to say about the demo though. I liked it a lot! (After I figured out what the menu options were!)

- Graphics were good enough for me. Some nice heat distortion effects. Liked the fuzzy fur on the enemy. You mentioned some full screen filters in your forums Atem?? That would be cool.
- Loved the atmosphere. The sound was the best part of this game, very dark/tense especially the 2nd level. I love games with good ambient sounds. Also the first game to have enough bass to make my ceiling shake! Congrats! :P
- Level design was great. Reminded me a bit of FarCry, really feels like you're on an open island.
- The menu screens were nice! With the sound again and animals being operated on (the eye in the stomach!)
- Liked that fast firing weapon you get in the 2nd level, that lights up the surroundings a green colour. Although the sound doesnt really match the firing. Great for burst fire tho! Kinda reminded me of the rifle in Halo, but more accurate.
- And the set piece with all the gas and having to wear the mask at the start of the 2nd level was brilliant.

Some -ves:

- Kept crashing to desktop on my system randomly. Dunno why. Anyone else have this? It crashed about 10 times altogether. Temperatures all seemed fine..?(Running 6800gt, 1G RAM, 2.8G intel)
- There was a fair amount of slow-down at 2 or 3 points in the demo where I wouldnt have expected it. Mostly it ran very smooth tho.
- Theres a bug where falling bodies disappear!
- And a minor thing - you never have to reload weapons? hehe

So overall, thx for the demo and great job on the game Atem. If the story is good, I might buy it (if it comes to the UK). I hope the launch goes well.
