Experiment "26" by SvetlanaLis
The “Universe 25” experiment turned out to be a great opportunity to further your assumptions, so you’ve decided to expand it. Based on its results you’ve launched a new, twenty sixth iteration. Things are going to be different this time. With new conditions and rules you might be able to achieve an entirely different result, maybe not without a helping voice from behind your eyes that might gently push you towards the correct choices.
The game is available only in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari!
\\The game is controlled by voice, please check if you have a microphone before playing!\ Speak "Up, Right, Left" or in Russian to play this game.
We ask everyone to wait a bit and we will post our wonderful game!!!

I spoke both English and Russian, I have a good enough microphone, and I spoke loudly.
But if you do not take into account this bug, then the visual design is quite pleasant, and the idea is actually very interesting!
It's a shame, because there was clearly a lot of effort put into this.
Maybe the wrong command shouldn't have killed the mouse outright, but made it less and less obedient to your voice, so it would damage itself even more and thus make the map, which in this case should have been more varied, harder to complete. And there could have been some rewards for the mouse in other parts of the map to make it more willing to listen. This could have expanded on the idea of actually communicating with the creature.
I just don't know, the gameplay right now doesn't really fit the narrative and isn't gameplay. I also can't help but notice that it doesn't feel much like the 25 universe, other than being an experiment with a mouse.
