Firewatch in a sense is the same type of game, yet it did considerably well. Not to mention there are alot of lets play videos of it as well. Sorry for this guy, but I think people just don't like your game.
If you make a game that has no actual game mechanics other than to tell a story, that's going to happen. Not saying it's a bad game, but people need to realize that.
I remember when nintendo started to be profitable and gave Sony and Microsoft a run for their money. That was back in the wii and GameCube days when they stopped pushing the family friendly crap. Fast forward to the wii u Era and they start trying to push this crap again. All it does is upset the fanbase and divide people on the issue.
I congratulate the developer in making a emotional game but in the same sense, I play games for entertainment, not to be depressed. I personally would say this is more along the lines of a simulator rather than an actual game. And there is nothung wrong with that, but I would have put that in the actual review, not everyone wants to be depressed like this when selecting a video game.
