I'm glad you enjoyed the experience and I appreciate your kind words!
Indeed you called me out on it, I did place npcs to block the paths with some tasks related to interacting with the events spawning into the world. If there were no blockages like this, the game would've lasted only 2 minutes. Personally I play it through in 5 mins still, so it IS quite short indeed.
I spend a lot of time just listening to the chill exploration music though. It's almost like a cool screensaver with relaxing music. Accidentially made a nice music track that I keep humming to myself even when off the computer. Heh.
Thank you for playing! <3
