If you're ever going to play anything... please, play this

It's one of the most low-tech games I've played in a long time, but the core concept and the sheer atmosphere and serene yet sombre mood it exudes makes it one of the best games I've played in a long time. It's short enough that it's ideas dont become stagnant, and the low tech somehow brings the music and the imagery to the fore. I think it's brilliant.
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."
