I respect this game more than I like it. The developer took the most mundane game in human history and did something interesting with it. That's worth praising. Also, I'm a sucker for good presentation and UI, so the game gets bonus points for that.

Once I realized that there was no failure state, however, I also realized that the story elements were going to be mostly (really, almost entirely) disconnected from the game play. After that, you're left with a good, but not great implementation of a game you've probably played tens of thousands of times, and a story that's not interesting enough to stand on its own. I'm sorry to say that, because I wanted to like the game, and I want to encourage indie developers to make games like this.

Straight-forward mechanics and excellent presentation are something I've been missing in games lately. I'm glad I bought this game, for that reason, even if I didn't actually care that much for it.
