Additional Notes:
(update) after showing this "game" off and spending more time working on projects I can understand any complaints that arise from it not utilizing gameplay at all and instead playing out more like a film/video that has a play and reverse button. Either way, I'm leaving it up as a learning lesson for me personally. Even though I see it as a failed attempt at a game experience, someone else may find it useful to pull from.

This game is about a corgi that wants to become an Octopus, representational of being more than average (fame/innovation).
It's more of an interactive story than a game, and is fairly short. So I would think it's best to be played and experienced first before reading too much about it.
It's okay if you don't get anything out of it. It's an experimental game, and is my first finished project so I'm not expecting perfection from it.

Feedback:
If you enjoy it feel free to leave a comment about what you liked and thought about the experience.

If you didn't enjoy it so much, that's fine too. I would appreciate hearing what about it was unpleasant for you.

I'll try my hardest to respond to most feedback anyone leaves for the game.

Also, if you get the chance check this out: http://portraiturefromthe surreal.tumblr.com Haley Craw does excellent work and has helped out a great deal in giving me feedback on my work.

I dont really like games that I cant play.Like this one.

Too simple, and pointless. Bad animations (the octopus was OK)
I give this 3 stars to show my point, but being this was an experiement, I give some credit. I believe this would have been a good film, like many others, since it is less interactive and more video.

Moral of this game:
"Better be Grey, than find one's way in Zoo" :/
And THIS should be a short movie ;)

I agree with Phantom-2040....
