I quite like the book, so I was expecting a game where you mostly go to other planets and just talk to different people for a while. I was surprised by the direction this went. It does seem a bit overwhelming to take care of all the trees and volcanoes at first until you settle into a rhythm, which I think is intended. Most importantly, I loved the sort of melancholy hopefullness of the narrative and the music certainly amplified that. Also, the sheep is a good sheep.
