I think many have already described the problem pretty well, everything about the game is niche. The gameplay is fairly complex, the setting is odd sci-fi and the name sounds weird. And all this was quite intentional, the game is supposed to mirror a movie like Alien - creepy, interesting and weird.
To maximize sales I've said for some time it should switch to 3rd person adventure with shooting elements, a game that could draw inspiration from Super Metroid as well as modern games like TLOU or Batman:AA. We'll see if they ever do that.
