It's a cool and atmospheric game, but it's very hard-sciencey, very different in mood from what I see here. (Your game looks great, mind you. Just different. Infocom Starcross is kind of obscure these days anyway.)
I definitely want to try it out, I love really heavy sci-fi stuff. Also, if that's more your thing, the full Rose of Starcross game might be a little bit more to your tastes than the demo!
