Will the game have supernatural elements?

[mdqp]

As I ask in the title, I am wondering if the game will feature enemies and situations beyond the "regular" horrors of war. I liked the demo's atmosphere (as well as the inspirations it took from older survival horror games), but I must admit facing just humans would make things a bit less scary for me. Have the developers said anything about it?

I'm keeping it vague on purpose. ;)

I like the suggestive atmosphere the demo has. It's paranormal enough to be unsettling, without flooding you with the actual monsters. I am afraid that the moment you start killing monsters en masse the game will lose a lot of its charm.

I think what the Developers were going for in this Game was about presenting the Grittiness, Hopelessness, Desolation and Brutality of War. Doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't be subtle about including extra Horror Elements. I hope to get a Third Person Survival Horror based around WWI-WWII some day too.

well the fact its a Survival Horror,It would really sucks as the game is trying to tell me something is off all the time,but there are no monsters to be seen so far, If they call this Survival Horror for no reason, then doom 1 is Survival horror

By your logic, Doom 1 would be survival horror because it has monsters, no?

not really but what i am saying its like there will be something other then humans for sure, but i haven't seen them yet, would been great if at the end of the demo i seen a monster or something out of this world, the only odd thing i saw was the save lamp which acted like its magical with great animation with it,But good luck with the game cant wait to play the one with monsters.

There are eyes in the dark in one of the walls and body that comes to "life". I think there is one more thing, but it eludes me at the moment.

There's weird crawling stuff in the trailer on the store page so possibly

After playing the demo and having a splendid time, seeing monsters in the trailer kinda worried me. It feels like a cliche that would make the game more generic and have it stand less strong on it's own. There is a lot of potential in a focus on surviving the horror of just the great war. This really shows in the demo and that is just the alpha.

If you really want to add a supernatural element to it then I get that. Although in that case I suggest doing that in a sequel or DLC. Because it's easier to add a supernatural element to a world in a later stage then to completely remove it once the foundation of a world is supernatural.
