It's neat, but is it worth $3? Like, no.

It's 6 minutes and 50 seconds of lame.
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN WHY BEFORE WE JUMP TO ANY CRAZY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT MY TASTES
First off, I would say that the biggest, most glaring problem is that it's $2.99! It should be FREE. There's nothing to it at all. This instantly makes it crap.
But obviously you are wondering, why is it not worth $2.99?
Here's what the game lets you do: You can watch the 6:50 movie (as in six minutes and fifty seconds, that's all you get), or you can "linger", OR you can get a brief description of why they even bothered making it.
When you watch the video, the art is really dark and bland. Furthermore, the textures are terrible. All the textures are really blocky and old-looking, like they came out of PS1 games or something. So already, the game is colorless and the textures are terrible, making it ugly to look at since it's just a little art show.
It's rendered in-engine, so everything's sharp and big, but the bland textures are a real put-off.
It also wastes a lot of time. When stuff actually happens, this black smokey snake thing flies out of a cave and around an abandoned city full of skyscrapers. Then this dog wakes up, and sees a statue, and starts dog-paddling through the sky to get to the statue. I dunno' why.
Then there's this cat, who's just sitting around watching the dog. Then the black smoke attacks the dog, and turns the dog into stone.
That's when this big metal mask thing with lots of metal tentacles coming out of the back, and big lights for eyes, gets out of the cave the smoke came out of, flies through the city smashing into lots of stuff, then he sees the stone dog, floats over to it, and crushes it, so the dog is really, really dead.
Then it flies over to the statue, and starts pulling on the ruins around the statue as it gets attacked by the black smoke. The smoke crawls up its tentacles and one tentacle breaks off, smashing into the "camera", and I guess the mask thing dies because it falls over, hitting a pillar onto the camera and it's THE END.
So, what the hell was the point? A cat watches a dog die at the hands of black smoke and a tentacle monster. If the black smoke and the tentacle monster were hanging out in the same cave at the beginning of the video, why does the black smoke kill the masked tentacle later? What an ass! And they killed the dog. What a couple of jerks.
Surreal art can be cool, but this is just a big waste. Plus all I can think about is the poor dog getting murdered.
I mean, even if it was free, I don't think I would like it. I would at least respect it, but because I had to pay for it, I just HATE it. It's awful. It's only 6:50 of video. When you're able to interact, you're barely interacting with anything.
This is the "linger" feature. Basically, you go through the video, and to advance to the next part of the video, you have to do a certain something or it will rewind and do the scene again. This involves shaking the remote or spinning it or-
Who even cares? Don't get this. The interaction is minimum, you can generally only interact with one object for ten seconds every minute, and the textures are awful, and the whole thing is really short and never changes and it's not neat or interesting or nice to look at, and the dog dies, and I want my $3 back so I can get three spicy chicken sandwiches off of the McDonald's value menu, and just FORGET ABOUT IT!
There's probably Youtube Videos of the six minutes and fifty seconds worth of footage that the game has, anyway, so if you're actually interested at all, just look it up on Youtube. Buying it is a waste, and even if it was free it would still be a waste!
So is it worth $3? Or ANYTHING? No!
