Are there any action sequences, or is everything dialog- and puzzle-based?

Are there numerous ways to die?

Is it possible to paint myself into a corner through my choices?

I played the original series and would love it if the new series stayed true to the originals.

It pretty much in the spirit of the original games so no to all first three questions.

That settles it for me. Having loved the originals, and now at $5 and change, it'd just be silly to pass up this promo.
