Forks and Fiburgers On rare occasions I've seen people use a fork and knife to eat a simple hamburger. Once the sandwich is safely out of Sloppy Joe territory, using cutlery can come off as pretentious. Food philosophies aside, you cannot eat a Fiburger if you eschewed the Fork & Knife. No, I'm not repulsed by silverware. Why do you ask?

When you first make it to Otto's Cabin and accept his offer for tea, he later says, "I see you've got yourself a shovel and a pickaxe." He will say this even if you haven't retrieved the shovel from the jeep.

In Clyde's letter, he says he will be coming in a month. I ran the game through day 33, and never saw any sign of Clyde. Is that because he is not in the demo version?

@Eric Just to be clear, that wasn't a post-collapse event. I couldn't video capture, and the video clip doesn't show that the current time is 12:00 p.m. This was actually the result of not building the tent before Sunday. That's six days of sleeping without a tent, and attending the meeting (in a tent I hadn't yet built). When the meeting ends, I exit the non-existent tent.

This relates to the issue referenced above. What followed the tent scene had to be caught on video, which I wasn't prepared for at the time. Don't blink once you press play: This is the sort of issue that arises because a player isn't playing the game the way it is intended to be played; most gamers would never observe this scenario. In terms of the most programming-light solution, it seems that if there is no tent, the most logical place to have the meeting is inside the jeep viewed at the very beginning of the game. And now I get back to goofing off for a little bit.

What if I deliberately delay pitching a tent for several days? What if I manage to trigger notices just before 9:00 a.m. on Sunday? I got this:

Having played through the demo as thoroughly as I could, I moved on to trying to race through the demo as fast as possible. After hustling from point to point through the first three days and returning to my tent before 3:00 p.m., I turned in especially early on Thursday. Three-and-a-quarter hours through Friday I made it to the trailer park. The characters are all likable. While I enjoy "completing" an adventure, I'm really curious about the history of the town, and I was anxious to learn more about what the folks in the trailer park were rallying together for. On that, kudos for programming the demo to finish with a cliffhanger at the most absolutely perfect moment.
