At the base level, games that have violence and put players in life threatening situations are so appealing because they allow you to straddle that line between a connection to, and disconnect from, the visceral impact of what you're doing, all at once. The question then becomes, what do people want more, the visceral connection, or the safety of the disconnect?
Personally, I think this concept, though unique, would be discomforting at the very least.
This definitely takes it to another level...
What a cheap piece of tat.
