it's a good idea but too many elements are missing to allow a beginner in role playing to play it.

Yeah, it's not very accessible for beginners. (It was written for a role-playing challenge contest with a hard word limit.)
But not all games have to be beginner friendly. By leaning on players' established genre knowledge, this game is able to communicate concepts in much fewer words than if it had to explain everything from scratch.
So, yes, I wouldn't recommend this game for folks who are new to role-playing games.
