I liked your approach to the theme, we actually took a very similar approach on our game's theme. I think you managed to take two super simple and basic mechanics and made them interesting by pairing them together. Timers(breathing bar) always add just that little bit of sauce to a gameplay loop. I am wondering if what I encountered was a bug or not though. When I was in the anxious breathing state the keys to answer conversation were shuffled, it led to me getting wrong answers while pressing the "right" buttons.
