This creeped me out. Genuinely. Especially those messages when I won. Good work on the atmosphere. You should make a horror game, I have a feeling you've got the knack.

Cool atmosphere. The music was perfect in setting the creepy tone of the game. I wish there was some sort of hint in game to direct where I was supposed to go. I'm a sucker for thought-provoking scenery, so the first thing I did was go inspect all the giant squares, but that ended up being a dead end. I eventually found the ending, but not after spending ten minutes walking aimlessly.
Overall, I say you nailed it on atmosphere. It could use a little more content beyond walking around though, and ultimately, despite being creepy, there didn't feel like any danger was coming, or came.
That flashing red "YOU WIN" creeped me the heck out...I got the impression that there was no "winning", through the atmosphere, and even the coloration/flash-rate of the message.
The music was delightfully unsettling. A query; did you make it with FL Studio? The piano sounded familiar to me, and I've spent a frankly ridiculous amount of time analyzing pianos the past year.
I win, it was intressting art
I think I'm the one with an older gpu because all I could see is the colors blue white and grey move around when I move my mouse. darn... I really wanted to play from reading other comments
Interesting experience. Getting out of the starting pen felt a bit like breaking the game, but I think that is a good thing. It would have been nice to see the graphics developed a bit more, but I know that's difficult on a solo weekend project. ^_^
I found the slow walking speed frustrating, but at least I could guess where I had to get to right away, and reached the end before too long. I think a faster walking speed might have ruined the effect you were going for. Good work finishing this!
Really didn't know what I had to do but still finished the game. I especially liked the music. Well done!
