Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell

I'm in there. I see "story rich" and it reads as a crutch for no gameplay, or a premise for a book without the responsibility of pacing.
I know that's far from true, and there are loads of great story-rich games that are fun and engaging. But when that's the main tag, it turns me away.
