Very beautiful game! played all the way through completion (ends in a black screen with just heartbeat?) and it was very interesting to see the "neural network" thing forming and gaining life after every level. I didn't get to learn much about Sal Fandale and their story, or their work, but it was a good experience nonetheless!
