Initially i wasn't sure if i was doing the right thing, but as i progressed through the levels it became apparent what the purpose of the game is. Although i didn't saw the ending coming :-P.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As a side note, i *loved* the piano music and the slight &quot;puffs, huffs&quot; and ambient sounds that there were in the recording. It felts as if there was some sort of companion i was with while playing the game. Top marks on that :-)"},{"author_name":"gebirgsbaerbel","author_uid":"6187","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1324399980,"text":"Thank you for your comment on the music.
