Nice writing, I swear I could feel some sarcasm in there! When I got told about I should paint I had hoped that I could draw a tree and hence all trees would be visible with my own self drawn image. That would have been great!
Just out of curiosity: were you actually left by an artist you wanted to make a game with?
The main issue is that my drawings that should help me navigate just vanish after some time (or whatever the cause is), so there I'm stuck again in a blank room. Also the maze seems to be rather large, so a faster movement speed would be most welcome. Finally the text was sometimes a bit too fast, especially when distracted, so I'm missing a "click to continue" mechanic here.
The impro track was, to be honest, more on the annoying side.
