    I had never heard of this game before I saw it on Steam a few weeks ago but I just installed the demo and its alot of fun. I really like the art direction and the graphics, looks like it would age well as its really clean. I have to say the narrator was my favorite part. Sounds like a mysterious stranger out of a western and comments on exactly what you do. There were a couple of times in the 20 mins I played that I made a mistake and got hurt and he would say something that made me chuckle.

    Not sure that I will pay $15 for it, not that its probably not worth it but I have so many games atm that it would probably be neglected but as soon as it goes on sale its mine.

    Anyone else tried it out yet? Any thoughts?

    I heard it was good from my consolenoob friends. Downloading the demo! What is this Trenched?
    I'm reading reviews and they say the story is good.
