Completely agree, the thought of playing a game for so long with nothing to aim for seems pointless to me. I think the idea itself is brilliant but maybe they should have considered having more than 12 people working on it.
Past games have shown that even something as simple as going to skins will give the gamer something to work on. If the expected time playing this game was around 10 hours then maybe it would survive but the thought of playing something like this for hundreds of hours is not tempting in the slightest.
Actually, thinking about it, even multiplayer might have given this game a little more life time. Just something.....anything!
