It's a demo concerned with Dark And Darker Gold cursed spirits, angry ghouls, and fractured souls that have been long abandoned in the space between the living and the dead. A lovely detail is that you can hear the sounds of the rain lightly hitting your armour.
After waking up in a dungeon, I meet a hulking skeletal creature who looks so much like a Dark And Darker boss I thought I had a boss fight on my hands from the get-go, but actually turned out to be pretty friendly. The demo ends a little after your first night ends.
In a soothing Scottish accent, it tells me of my quest to find my lover's lost soul and gifts me a lantern for the journey.Who knew undead skeletons could be so nice? Stepping out of the dungeon, the demo introduces the first area of the game, a sprawling forest.
It's a labyrinth of interconnected paths but I don't mind getting a little lost since it's beautiful. The autumnal trees create a peaceful vibe and there's the subtle sound of the rain lightly hitting the knight's armour is wonderful.
Sure, I spot a giant spider scuttle back into its hole and I find a decomposed horse corpse being eaten by bugs, but I try not to focus too much on the nightmare fuel I see.
After moving through the first area, the game gives me the option of camping or continuing on into the night. On your journey, you'll see fireflies that you can put into your lantern and if you've cheap Dark And Darker Gold collected enough camping is your best bet, if not then you must continue on.
