Bah how boring it is to argue whether or not it's a game. It's an interactive narrative in the same way a short story is interactive; You flip the pages and you see more things, and you listen and look and spend time with it. Beyond that, if you are dumb enough to think 10 bucks is too much "because of the gameplay" you are missing the point of everything.
It's probably the best looking thing I've seen running on a PC, ever, with The Witcher 2 coming close. It's a stunning achievement and if nothing else you should play it to just to see what palette, atmosphere and thoughtful naturalism can do. It's like walking through an oil painting. The soundtrack is gorgeous, and the story itself, for what it is, is evocative enough that you might come away from the thing genuinely saddened.
I played it back when it was a mod and thought it was brilliant. I played it again now, all glorious 62 minutes of it, and it makes most other games I'd like to play today look a bit silly.
