I have no freaking clue as to what anything in the preview says because it's in another language, maybe Dutch or something! Here's an excerpt from a randomly chosen paragraph so maybe someone can translate it:

Het is donker. De lucht is kurkdroog en je hebt moeite met ademhalen. Je steekt een flare af en de kamer wordt duivels verlicht. ****, hoor je jezelf zeggen. Geen deur, geen raam, helemaal niets. Je begint de hoop dat je kan vluchten al op te geven, totdat je je ineens realiseert dat je die rocket launcher in je handen hebt. Een gemene grijns verschijnt in je gezicht. Je loopt zo ver mogelijk naar achteren, totdat je de steenkoude muur in je rug voelt. ,, Eat this ‘’ zeg je, en je drukt op de vuurknop. Een gigantische raket komt uit je rocket launcher en met een geweldige knal ontploft hij tegen de muur. Je bent verblind door alle rook, maar na een tijdje kan je weer wat zien….

I would like to point out that there were three words in there that I did understand and I bet you could pick them out too! So anyways, if you want to see some screenshots that we've already got posted on our site, or if you speak this language, click here!

Yay, I'm as good as Dynamo. That's three words I picked up! Three words I tell you!

I understood like 40%...
it´s about a guy fighting another guy with a rocket launcher. The other guy´s name is donker. The lighting is bad (or similar) and a big rocket comes out of the rocket launcher and kills the guy (not sure which one). And the other guy cannot see anything now....

I´m not dutch...

As I've written that preview and I also can speak and write English (nog that wel, but it's better than nothing ) I will translate that excerpt for you.
It's an introduction to get the reader in the mood for the preview.

There could be translation errors, but blame it on my English

-Translation starts here-

It's dark. The air is dry and you've got difficulty breathing. You ignite a flare and the room becomes lid with devilish lit. Sh*t, no door, no window, absolutely nothing. You begin to give up the hope to escape, until you realise that you've got a rocket launcher in your hands. An evil grin appears on your face. You walk back as much as you can, until you can feel the ice-cold wall picking in your back. ,,Eat this'', you say and you push the fire button. An enormous rocket comes out of the rocket launcher and with an great explosion it detonates itself in the wall. You're blinded because of the some, but after a while you can finally see something...
There is an enormous hole in the wall and beyond that wall you can see your spaceship. Your grin on your face disappears and you can hear yourself thinking...Finally, I'm going home...

---End of Translation---

Well that was it
