I can see how that would happen. At first I was a bit like "so... what? and why?". It definitely won't be for everybody.
It's possibly worth following a 'how to survive your first night and get started' type guide and see if that helps. If you're interested in survival/exploration/building games it's worth a go.
It's ridiculous when you start getting scared of something that looks like this:
Tina was taking the piss out of me for getting jumpy about it last night, then shrieked with horror at a spider
:)
Mikee - I'm just not playing it that way, at least not for now. More interested in working under limitations. Halloween update soon too!
