People like the idea of it when they read about it online, but it sold poorly and the few people who played it didn't enjoy it.

The subversive games that teach a moral lesson to a player can be great, but they work best as short one-time plays, which isn't great for commerce.

There's not a lot of replayability in subverting your own expectations.

I liked the game as a shooter but I thought all the moralizing was ham fisted nonsense. It was incredibly obvious what it was doing and it didn't affect me the way it seemed to affect a lot of other people.

I one of these few people who played it, I really enjoyed it. Thought on hardest difficulty it was a really good challenge.
