Welcome to the world of interactive novels! I love them, especially with the freedom the words give to let your mind run off and imagine your character in all the situations you want.
It sounds more like you're the one that's so high on your opinion of yourself. The game is tagged interactive fiction and text-based, I don't know why you expected little to no words. By the way, games don't have to cater to you only馃グ what about this game screams "turn-based" to you?
