The grid thing is  because I added an offset of half a tile to the grid so I could draw the red line without making any mistakes and forgot to remove it when I took the screenshot.

 I wanted to make it so you could move ONLY ON THE RED LINE (no moving to the sides). The snapping was about when you wanted to make a turn you wouldn't need to be exactly centered on the tile (because that would be really finicky).

I wanted to make something action oriented. Maybe a shooter? So WASD would move according to where your mouse is positioned (rounded to the closest 90º turn). So you could switch between pressing A and D to peek around a corner or press S to rapidly move backwards and A or D to make the corner without needing to turn backwards. You would still be able to make 90º turns with Q and E.

In the video it was specified that the movement has to be grid based. I would like to know if it's fine if I make it so you can only move from the center of one of the grid cells to another the center of another but instead of having a transition, I have "free movement" on a line connecting the center of both cells.

The intention is to move freely along the red line (no thickness) and there would be snapping so you don't need to be precise on the movement.

I forgot to remove the offset grid on the previous image. I made it on the fly on Aseprite and I only have another screenshot because my pc crashed when I was making the post.
The map was supposed to be like this:
