When I watched the first trailer for ME this game (or at least the first building) was the first thing I thought about.

I would say it would be a shame that this game will go the way of Kill.Switch when ME proves a success, but I have nightmares of how horribly frustrating the Final boss was.

I really hope so, as just like you mentioned, it's a mechanical precursor to ME, just like Kill.Switch's cover system was for Gears. I loved the game, minus the end. Games truly need more first-person post-apocalyptic puking!
