They have lost me as a customer, at least for now. Shame on them.
Just wanted to share that.

I also wonder if the whole story takes place in one day/night cycle, or if there are a few days to it.

This looks like a very promising experiment so far.
I suppose my main concern is that they're putting the writing and acting front and center, seemingly before all else, and if those elements are at all sub-par, they could really drag the game down. I'm not yet convinced that Remedy can make a game capable of leaning heavily on its story telling (for me, Max Payne's action was its dominant characteristic by far and made up for any other silliness).
