Wasn't a playable demo supposed to be available to backers by now or did I miss something?

I have a key that I think I received sometime last night, but I'm in no hurry to use the bloody thing. I suspect it will need fifty plus patches simply to be a viable product, let alone worth playing. I'm assuming you are inquiring about Shard, and not Underworld =p

Ahhh for Underworld. If I remember right, I think a pre-alpha started in August or so, or maybe even earlier. I know I got an invite but this is another I wouldn't touch till the baking is done.

This looks like a crappier version of the amazing Dark Messiah of Might & Magic.

G'day there Sam, a belated warm welcome to the 'Watch to you. Glad you joined up. 
I quite like Dark Messiah as well - I bought a collectors edition I remember just after I bought my second to last PC. I've said it many times here before, but the game remains the benchmark for me as far as first person melee systems go in genre related RPG environments. Thus as TomRon mentions, an influence to a point on UA is quite welcome.

Dark Messiah was 'fun' but I think over-rated. It was never really finished or balanced and it was short. Mind you a AAA version of Dark Messiah with the resources to fully flush out the balance and story would have be great but the game itself, while it broke new grounds in a fun way, would not (imho) measure up to some of the better first person games of today.
