Despite this being so simple I played it over and over until I got to the "next morning." It was frustrating to find the hotspots yet at the same time it felt accurate for the "dream world" idea.

Oof, 47 meg download :( I would recommend splitting the .zip up into three separate ones, one for each platform. 15 megs is a lot more manageable!
As for the game itself, I like the art, and wanted to keep playing to see all of it, but it became too frustrating to continue on. Excellent feeling of tension, it was quite nightmare-ish, so you nailed that aspect of it!
The heavy breathing really had me scrambling to find the hot spots, which was a neat effect. =] But it was really tedious to find all of the hot spots especially when they got really small.
Wow. It is a very simple game yet I couldn't stop until I got the the next morning. Very well done!
Yikes! Made me realize how crappy zip can be. The large size is due to three identical 15 MB files that get compressed and stored independently inside the archive.
Anyway, game is a bit simplistic maybe, but also very easy to play and relatively rewarding due to that fact. No introduction or learning curve needed. Could have been fun with some other dream-like effects like illusions and distractions while trying to find the clickies.
Tense! It looks like the hotspots are pre-set not randomized (thank goodness!), so I can quickly get back to the bit where I just start to see what I guess is some body of water, but after like six attempts with over ten seconds on that screen each and STILL not finding the hotspot, it gets too tedious to continue. Until that killed it, it was a very cool experience!
Nice concept! The sound-effects really elevate this.
The graphics are quite dreamy, and the panic of not finding a hotspot within the time with the increasing breathing is a neat gag. Unfortunately the hotspot-scanning doesn't work quite as a agood game-mechanic.
I really liked the atmosphere. The gameplay was a bit boring but I was motivated to finish the game because I liked watching the progression of the different backgrounds. Nice graphics style and audio.
