It's not Mario, or Pokemon, or Grand Theft Auto. People heard of those games. no one has heard of this game before. I think all in all that's why the gaming industry is lacking in originality. Because when someone tries to make something bold and original like this... no one is interested.
The only time original titles get attention is when they: A. Resemble other games. B. Are free and distributed over the internet.
