I did find the compass, which was helpful, but I was *dying* for "hold key to walk forward" of some kind. Having to hit the key every single time got pretty tiring. I made it about 4700 steps before I finally gave up.
The dialogue was great, and I think that's what kept me going. At some point, my fingers got tired, and I got stuck a few times with the maze changing, and it was too frustrating to continue.
I'm not sure how much it fit the theme, as the player isn't usually in control of the environment around them, so we weren't really out of control here. That said, the dialogue was funny and the idea of the gameplay was good. Would definitely try something else from the same creator.
