@LiamEsler has been talking about it off and on for the past year or so; I'd guess it's got to be pretty good if he's taking time away from his very busy twitter schedule to talk about it.
After finally getting some time, I have to say that I really like the vibe of this title. Being a Point-And-Click game makes it much easier to immerse oneself into the game world than, say, a Third-Person-Shooter like Dead Space.
The menu options however leave much to be desired. The only thing which can be changed are sound volumes and brightness levels. Having no windowed mode, alternative resolutions, or similar 'basics' is really of odd for a new game.
I get the impression its a very small development team (like 3 people).
On top of what you already mentioned I also didn't like how you couldn't skip the opening video. At least I wasn't able to. At a certain point it gets a bit repetitive
That said overall I would say I've been impressed by it (but I've only played like 17 minutes of it so its still very early into the game I'm sure).
Has anyone else completed this game? Personally I felt its ending was rather refreshing and unique amongst other game titles. Makes even for a perfect warm-up for Torment: Tides of Numenera as well.

The fact alone that its music was composed by Mark Morgan (as well as Daniel Sadowski) makes it an instant-buy in my book.
Fails
(Now I just have to wait for my ancient computer to successfully download it)
Also, can't stop listening to the bone-chilling ingame music !

If you guys thought Irenicus and his pods were already bad news... just wait until you see the vats in here. OH GOSH THE VATS!
My conclusion: Money well spent, I say!
