Nice game engine. I've experimented with Storyline in a similar way too, so appreciate the work that has gone into this.
The Cube character and minimalist design remind me of Thomas Was Alone. Have you played that by any chance?

- That's what I was thinking! My boyfriend played this game through to the end and loved it! It's a great game!
- Thanks Jonathan! And yes, I adore Thomas Was Alone! It's one of those must play games I always recommend (that list is ginormous, though...).
