It sure was an game. Giving it 2 stars instead of 3 since it's SO short and basic, and the player has SO little control, that it might as well be an animation, there's really no reason for it to be a game with how limited your range of vision is. Might as well make it an animation so you can control the pacing and framing better, frankly.
