I wouldn't call Starship Titanic a text adventure. It's point-and-click overall with some text elements in terms of things like certain descriptions. Sort of like a more advanced version of a Sierra On-Line game.
Fair enough but it's definitely giving you the "throw random stuff at the parser and have the game be snarky" experience. It's from the point-and-click era, the tail end even, but does a throwback to introduce those elements again.
Definitely another experience than Fallout 4 reducing dialogue to "yeah, nah, question, bail".
