Game or Story

I'm taking a break from the arcade style game I'm making to return to game authoring for my intfiction engine. I've restarted the NetSplit cyberpunk game. This time around I want to get more creative with it. Last time it felt too mundane. I would spend weeks defining run of the mill apartment complexes etc. Now I want everything to have a cyberpunk twist to it or secrets hidden throughout. There are touches of Tomorrowland inspired retro future scenes, but these are in the middle of a modern simulated Net world.

I am building it more like a game than a book so the descriptions are short and the story is somewhat sparse. I'm describing things very much like narrating someone playing an FPS. It will have an emphasis on exploration and problem solving more than fighting opponents. The 'more game than story' style isn't anything new, what I've played of Zork is like that. But I wonder what most of those in the niche crowd of IF fans prefer.
