You play as Wilson, an intrepid Gentleman Scientist who has been trapped by a demon and transported to a mysterious wilderness world. Wilson must learn to exploit his environment and its inhabitants if he ever hopes to escape and find his way back home.
Enter a strange and unexplored world full of strange creatures, dangers, and surprises. Gather resources to craft items and structures that match your survival style. Play your way as you unravel the mysteries of this strange land.
Don't Starve is a game being created by Klei Entertainment, the company behind Shank, Shank 2, and Mark of the Ninja. Their art remains amazing, while this time, the gameplay goes in a completely different direction.
You begin the game playing as Wilson, a man abandoned in the middle of nowhere, told only that you had better get something to eat before it gets dark.
From there, you're on your own.
You must forage and hunt for everything except water. Food is the most important, but light is nearly as valuable, as the (not)grue lurks in the darkness, waiting to devour you whole should you let the fire go out.
You will die. Probably many times. However, there is a bright side! As you feed your valuable resources to the Science Machine in the name of..well, science, you'll unlock new tools, and these discoveries will carry over from one game to the next.
Beyond the new toys, as you play you'll also unlock new characters to play as, who have slightly different ablities, and can be switched between later in the game.
The game is currently priced at $11.99 on Steam, which will get you two copies, and access to the beta.
Said beta is currently being updated every other Tuesday.
You can find the demo on chrome here.

NEW PLAYER TIPS
Behind spoilers, in case you want to tough it out.
1. Build the Research Machine as soon as you can. Feed items to it to gain Research points to unlock new things to craft.
1.a. Gold is probably the biggest point value during the early game, and since you're likely going to die before you can use it for anything else, go ahead.
2. Build a Fire Pit as soon as possible. It stays around and you can restart your fire with just a single log from then on.
3. Kite monsters. Most of them attack slowly, so as long as you don't mis-click, you can take on packs of spiders with just an axe if you have to.

One thing I gotta ask. How do you gain research points or whatever to be able to make new things? I haven't figured that out yet.
@heenato:
How do I get it into fullscreen? I don't see an options menu, and the game is just too large for my monitor.
I've never played either game, but from what I know of them..is this more Day Z or Minecraft? The beta downloads and updates via steam right?
Will DEFINITELY be buying this on payday.
Yes, if you manage the early game you can get to the point where you can survive indefinitely.
There seems to be quite a bit of feedback on the forum for more threats in the endgame.
There is a new monster being added in the next update, so that might be for that.

So if this game is not awesome, I will come back to this thread and do terrible things do your bodies.
So... Throw me a invite? :P
So far I've lasted 4 days max; I died because I couldn't get the torch I was holding into my hand fast enough when my inventory was full. Also, didn't know I could feed things to the Research Machine.
Also, @Buttcleft were you hunting them, as in, trapping them? Or did you find an effective way to actually kill them? Whenever I get close, they run away.
I just come at them from the direction of the hole that they'll run towards and I usually chop their little bunny head off right as they get there.
Kiting is a phrase used in MMOs and RTSs. Its where you basically run away, get them to chase you, attack once, then continue to run before they can attack back.
I guess she might be considered hard mode since the only difference that I can see is that she can't shave. Or... at least, I don't think she can...
Right now that's the only difference. As of Tuesday, Willow will have the added ability that, if you leave her alone in the dark, she'll randomly start fires. So, she'll basically be immune to death in the darkness. However, you can also start a forest fire, and in a future update, even your camp can burn down.
Still haven't figured out how to fullscreen it. Did realize I could resize the window at least.
Why the FUCK can't I find any manure?
The person you gift the 2nd copy to gets access to the beta, yes.
You need to find Beefalos.
Its a really good idea to at least bring the berry bushes to your camp. Grass too, really. You can also dig up saplings. And if you dig up the stump of a tree you chopped down, it gives you another log.
Just be search to pick whatever you want from the object before you did it up. If you dig up a bush with berries on it, when you replant it, the berries will be gone. Same for the grass/saplings.
I kept trying to use it to dig rabbits out of their holes...and on graves.
Also, can't you get manure by feeding the pigs? Or was that changed?
"First island"?
You can build boats?
Oh my god I need this game so much.
...Anyone want to trade for a Planetside 2 beta key? :P
edit: (just kidding I have like 5 of them up for grabs)
No boats as far as i know, but there is a long bridge between an island where i first started and another hunk of land i havent explored yet.
Digging rabbits out of their holes to force them into a trap is a decent way to get meat early on. Can be a little tough to aim it just right so they actually hit the trap though.
And anyway, it's easier to just
2. Stand on the other side of the hole from him, far enough way that you don't scare him
3. Click on him once with some sort of tool in your hand
You'll run towards him for one attack (which is all it takes, of course). By the time he gets spooked, you'll usually be close enough that you'll meet him at the hole and behead/impale/crush him before he can hide.
