Ok, I have just downloaded the Forge Demo for OSX.
I have downloaded it because I wanted to see how stable it was on my Mac, and I have been wanting to switch from TGE to TGEA for a while now (but they didn't have it for Mac).
Anyway, I ran the app and this is what happens:
1. The window appears
2. The 2 loading screens go by
3. I get this:

I can move the camera with the mouse, but nothing else happens, there was no main menu, I can't control anything, there is nothing else but that image. Is that suppose to happen?

So... That's it? Nothing else?

Yes. That's it - it's a demo of the shaders. Everything doesn't have to be a full-on game for it to be interesting, does it?

No, but the description, "The high powered Forge Demo by Tim Aste shows off many of the advanced shader features of TGEA 1.8." made me think it would be like a fly-through, showing off things like Pixel Shader 3.0, Atlas Terrains, and things like that.
