Sadly the proof that not all Indie Games are great.

"<...> The average gamer doesn't want to spend 2 hours (and the game is only 2 hours long, btw) reading text; they want to spend it knee-deep in brass, and at 15 dollars there's a small army of games more than capable of satiating that need."

This argument sounds misleading and disingenious. You're basically saying "Well, this game doesn't satisfy the needs of *the average gamer*, so it sucks.", whereas, from what I'm seeing, this game never did try to market itself towards the 'average gamer' crowd. I always saw it as being geared towards the group of gamers enamored with well-written story and choice, those that couldn't wait for Torment: Tides of Numenera to come out, those that don't find enough video games to satisfy that need. It's like how Fallout 3 was praised because the market was starved for open-word, go-whereever-you-want RPGs.

Is the game good? Not really. There are a lot of problems - lack of ending, lack of attachment to characters, being too short to justify the price, etc... But being more 'normal' certainly isn't one of those.
