What's all the mystery? What's all the hype for this game?

I downloaded the Demo to see what kind of game this was. It's the type I hate. Yep. Sure enough. Tried opening the hatch in the very beginning of the game and spent about a half hour pounding it with a rock, watching it pop partially open and then falling shut again. Naturally, you can't turn the wheel on the hatch to open it.... I finally gave up out of frustration... You can have this game. I know I'd be pissed off and cussing out loud at the game within minutes... I tried repeatedly in the ship's cabin to unlock the locker with the key. Finally, I got it open. Then I stumbled outside and into the storm. I found a hatch, inexplicably amongst the rocks in a dead-end and tried to open it. I pounded it with a rock and it came loose. But, I couldn't get the damned thing to open. I bounced the rock on it several times and I could see it WAS open. But I couldn't lift it. I bore easily when games do crap like that. I want to be able to interact with my environment. GrizzlyJIm
