Very interesting short sci-fi game concept with attractive presentation and strong atmosphere. 2 major puzzles can easily lead to frustration, but to be fair they work well within the storyline and the game offers alternative, non-optimal ways of solving them.

Gave up on the second puzzle; delay between screens is not needed.
Thanks so much for making this game.
It's very psychological, for people suffering from a severe depression and fears of all kinds, this was just what i needed, it have me a clear look in to myself. Thanks.
I really needed this game. Please go on !!!
And to all gamers play this game, it will amaze you.
This game has real atmosphere, really enjoyed it.
Most of the cutscenes are black screens with "walking in the snow" noise. Sometimes with dialogs.
Definitely one of the best short-form games I've come across. Primarily due to the careful linking of gameplay and story.
