I played this game and nearly cried. As kottke advised, play it first then read the creator’s statement.

My thoughts (please read it only after playing the game):
I started the game by moving right. It just seemed natural to move that way to progress in the game. I got the metaphor about how there are some places you can’t go with your spouse. Once I got that, I decided not to try to figure out the maze but go exploring in a different direction. I did enjoy that part of the game a bit more - less frustrating. Noticed the aging too. Didn’t play until death the first time. Read the creator’s statement and further appreciated the depth of the game.
