Wow! Spoilers much?! I can't believe they spoiled the "Beer Ending" in the trailer...
I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.
Honestly, if you like text adventures, despite the difficulty, it's one of the most entertaining ever. Douglas Adams himself wrote most of the text, so even if you don't get very far, it's all funny.
Starship Titanic is similarly incredibly under-rated, as is the companion novel written by Monty Python's Terry Jones.
I haven't read the novel, but I have played the game. When I played it, it was new, and it was really slow to load levels, which made it kind of a pain to play, but I did restore a good 3/4 of the ship robot thingy's face.
And my god the parrot was annoying.
