The atmosphere is really cool. Without spoiling it for anyone, I enjoyed the foreshadowing of the statues ruminating about the senses. It would be cool to capture the mouse so it's easier to look backwards as you move on the track, but the loop at both ends of the tracks compensates well for that.

Thank you for playing! 
The mouse is captured in the downloadable version, not sure why it's not working in the web build.

The eerie atmosphere and and the talking headless statues gives the game an obscure and dreamlike feal. I like the unexpected fate you get at the end after proving your knowledge to the gatekeeper

Appreciate that, I put the most effort into the atmosphere.
