Dreamfall: The Shortest Journey

I finished playing this game that I had been following since Spring semester. It's called Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. I had so much anticipation for that game, but it turned out to be a let down. It wasn't really like an adventure RPG like I thought it would be. It wasn't very long at all. I beat it in under a week...it didn't keep track of playtime. The puzzles weren't very hard at all. The plot was severly lacking...lots of loose ends and not much in the way of closure. The only thing that is its redeeming factor is that the story that was revealed to the player was a good story and well done. I can only assume the fact for it being so bad is that it is the middle game of a trilogy; but even so, it should still be able to hold its own. How are they supposed to expand their fan base like that?
