the first time i met fluffy... it was my first time playing the game. the 2 hour trial on xbox preview. started by the derelict cabin over near the camp office. stumbled around aimlessly picking up sticks, until i found the tunnel collapse. i though "oooh, follow the railroad and i'll find civilization!"

and so i did, after warming up in the tunnel collapse. found the camp office, gathered supplies, warmed up again, went back out, and then finally made it to the dam. i was prying open a locker when fluffy jumped me from behind. god, you should have seen my face XD i may or may not have needed a change of wardrobe after that encounter xD

fortunately, i had a bandage. i bandaged my wound, and got out of there as fast as i could. stumbled off into the blizzard and died desperately trying to make a fire behind a tree out of the wind.

and i died trying to make my fire. faded into the long dark. as soon as i died, my two hour trial ended. and then i was like "THIS GAME IS SOMETHING I NEED IN MY LIFE"

I first played the game at a friend's place, and yeah, it went quite similar to your story

I guess the community here just has a little masochistic vibe, like we'd pay Hinterland employees to just beat us senseless with hockey sticks

i've never read a truer statement... xD
