Escape. Most people have had dreams,
or nightmares, where one is being
chased, usually by someone who has
no name nor face. In my dreams, I
also cannot get anywhere, my feet
just aren't moving regardless of how
I try. It's like I'm in quicksand,
the more I try, the more I cannot move.
I cannot even breath. The only way to
get out of the suffocating horror is
by waking up. And if I do wake up in
the middle of the night, chase will
continue if I manage to get sleep again.
After this nightmare my head is heavy
and my thoughts are cloudy the whole day.
When it comes next evening, I go to sleep
and nightmare will start all over again.
There is no escape.

As for the game itself, I like the art, and wanted to keep playing to see all of it, but it became too frustrating to continue on. Excellent feeling of tension, it was quite nightmare-ish, so you nailed that aspect of it!
Anyway, game is a bit simplistic maybe, but also very easy to play and relatively rewarding due to that fact. No introduction or learning curve needed. Could have been fun with some other dream-like effects like illusions and distractions while trying to find the clickies.
The graphics are quite dreamy, and the panic of not finding a hotspot within the time with the increasing breathing is a neat gag. Unfortunately the hotspot-scanning doesn't work quite as a agood game-mechanic.
