i really want to love this game too, but i totally agree: i'd only be playing it for the art and music. i can't bring myself to buy it though. really says a lot imo about what makes a good game.
It's maddening how they managed to get so many things right in the aesthetic department, but then dropped the ball for the gameplay. Hopefully their next game will not only capitalize on the visuals and sounds but improve on the gameplay.
