Very confusing at first, it would be nice to have an explanation of what is going on.
Although once I figured it out, I enjoyed it a lot. Very short, very nice looking, and the music is seriously amazing!

This game has a lot of potential, I hope you keep working on it:)

Very nice work!
I like how the game itself tells you everything you need to know.
Nice work on the sound too!
Great work!

Only CONS is that it is really short.. apart from that, I liked the character's feeling and all that crazy background! it is really minimalistic and yet very enjoyable, congratz

Don't quite see how it fits the theme, but certainly creepy.

I have really a good feeling about this game. The game although short gives me a sense of design in deep. I enjoy playing this.

BTW: The concept makes me to think about The Lord of the Ring, when you need to hide from the eye of Sauruman :)

A very intresting experience, I don't see how it relates to the theme but is still a very nice entry.

Thank you for playing everyone!

About the theme...
The music while you are walking is 4 bar(=16 beats total) in tempo 96, which is 16 * 60/96 = 10seconds. I think the title of this game should have been kind of "10 seconds away".
