TBH, I was very disappointed by the demo...
Best to try it out yourself, but, it seemed unfinished, uninspired, and, frankly, pretty amateurish. There's something very strange with the animations of the enemies as well, as if they would move in 10 frames per second. And, the item handling is none really. Can turn the items in the world around in your hands, and that was it.
If you want to play a game like this, better play Arx Fatalis. Or wait for Monomyth.
