I really like the idea behind this game. It's a good idea to make a game about the futility in life. The art is great. Unfortunately I couldn't hear the audio since I'm in a public place, but that seemed good. The problem is that the game simply isn't that fun. That may be intentional to drive home your idea, but I didn't feel like there was any reason to go from building to building and rather let my life slip away in the café. I think the ide and the game, but I think you could add more to gameplay and still keep the existential dread.
