"Straightforward" is what I'd call it, I think. Most of the dialogue and descriptive text (even the more "surreal" examples in the later stages of the demo) just want to get the information across as directly as possible. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Yes, I think you hit it on the nose. Not always a bad thing, but it makes the writing less memorable and more, well, uninteresting.
I wonder if it's a language thing, where the beauty and flow of the original becomes a sterile, purely functional translation.
