Well read this: http://gameological.com/2013/02/review-proteus/
and also the main quote on their website:

what's wrong for paying for something that is enjoyable
besides it's $7

when you watch a movie and a child enters some wonderland the "wonder" of it usually becomes normal after like 5 minutes tops

that's not even a dollar per minute of wonder

well that's you watching the kid experience it, not you experiencing it
plus the reviews are all pretty good so obviously some people find it enjoyable for longer than 5 minutes
then again this game is like 13 minutes long and has quite a bit of acclaim: http://blendogames.com/thirtyflightsofloving/

Got it running fine, it's pretty good. They did a good job of pacing by introducing you to new things every so often. It's really atmospheric, mostly due to the audio which is definitely the best part of the game. It sounds absolutely fantastic. And that quote I posted is fairly accurate
