Boring. It's basically a text adventure game with really bad, slow-moving graphics in the background. I got about 3 hours in, halfway through Act 3, before giving up. I was hoping for some breakthrough or clever revelation or something, but at no point did I enjoy the game so far. Three hours of boredom is too much investment no matter the payoff. Skip it.

Those scenes are all about atmosphere and implicit feelings, both of which are a huge element of what this game is. There are also little implied details in them that bind various parts of the setting/story together. I personally love it. If it doesn't do anything for you though, that's cool too, but it's just fundamentally what KRZ is.

Could be. I felt I did a fair amount of exploration outside the main plot, but was never rewarded for it. "Some guy is on the side of the road playing a guitar." Ok. Why did I go out of my way for that?

If you got to the halfway point in act 3 in 3 hours, you probably missed all the clever stuff in the parts you did play. Not trying to be rude, just saying, it's a very slow game that wants you to pay attention to the details, makes sense if that's not for you.
