Well, it's pretty much not serious at all in many aspects. It has a serious issue underlying it, but the approach is about as not serious as you can get (at least, as far as I've played which is about 50% through).
As for being linear, it is and it isn't. It is linear in the sense that you only have a certain number of possible choices at any given time, but you can choose to do those possible things in almost whatever order you want.
I'd recommend just renting it, playing it as much as you can while you rent it to get a feel for it (DO NOT rely on your first impression - take time to get used to it and get more "into" the story). If you like it after renting it, then buy it and you can still use your saved games.
