Had a play with this now, it seems ok.

Engine

The engine is a customish one (ChromeEngine) which feels to me like Doom3 crossed with Fear - It's very pretty, but too plasticy and over-done.

Lots of bumpmapping etc, HDR lighting is forced (= no AA for most of us (set to SM2.0 for AA and no HDR))

Map loading, on a scale of 1 to 10 this rates at BEEF.

Gameplay

Gameplay is pretty good, but not something i can see myself getting into - too many buttons and not enough accuracy.

Has basic puzzles (think HL1, moving boxes etc)

Requires use of left and right buttons for shooting (seperate hands) also features some bullet-time/FEAR-time-esque concentration mode.

Conclusion

All in i'd rate the demo at a 6.5 - shows promise, graphics are ok, sound is fine. Certainly worth a go.

Instructions:
- Start Game
- Send off for a Passport
- Go on holiday
- On return, begin play.

edit: Hmm. It plays ok, although it can feel a little wooly at times. The preist seems to have tiny feet, so you'll fall off things a lot.

It shouldn't take 25 attempts to jump on a box.
