Really like the concept!! Both halves of the game felt very cohesive on the side of the visuals, and I like the twist in the tone. Some words indeed were hard to read, but I kind of like that.
However, this game lacks responsiveness, and that really hurts it. There were several times I wasn't sure if the game had crashed or if I just wasn't doing what I should be to progress. Music or some sort of ambient sound would have helped convey that the game has not crashed (and aided the emotional impact of it all), and some sort of sound effect or more consistent visual cue upon clicking and/or hovering would have made the game feel a lot better to play.
