It is so strange because the game jam version of this game did go with the more weird killer fridge idea.

Still though, I hope they do more of that in the full game

I wish games like these stopped because I didn't even finish the demo because of what John mentioned towards the end of the video with how it's hard to know when the game is trying to be scary and you're just supposed to wait or if it's a puzzle, and the game is so bloated with events like this and I couldn't really stand it. Props for John for actually getting to the end of the demo and what he said as his critique was spot on.

Not to say the second game was, like, a masterpiece or anything, but I do find it really odd that an entirely meaningless choice at the very beginning of the game will have such an impact on the quality of the demo you'll receive. The first one looked very slow and monotonous, with very little in terms of interesting or new ideas. The second one at least had a bit of intrigue, and if nothing else was succinct. I hadn't even realized the food at the beginning would be a choice, which makes me wonder how many people didn't even see what I think is the more interesting scenario.
