Do you mean the original? (I haven't played it.) Because LCD, Please is missing any meta-game that AFAIU made the original interesting - it is really just about comparing faces, and it has no goal or end either. I gave up after half an hour of comparing faces. Reading the blog entry about it was much more interesting than playing it.
It's about more than comparing faces (which you do every day IRL, it's just not as effortless in the game because of low resolution.)

The game is about how far you are willing to compromise your ethics to help yourself and your family escape oppression.

The original is. But the GP was talking about the "LCD, Please" version which doesn't have any kind of narrative.
I was answering that commenter's question about the original, which they stated they had not played.

But I could have made that more obvious, in my reply.

Yeah I didn't realise. Not so interested anymore.
