I would say it's very similar to that! The content spread is more lateral [ getting different endings, etc ]
The pacing is a little different though since it's based on in-game-1-hour 'turns'. You can spend your time waiting, sleeping, searching, or getting into events.
I feel like people may spend less time reading, and more time thinking about what they want to do next, since it's a lot more open-ended than my previous work in BTD.
