A short, thought-provoking game that has a clear intent that is well-executed throughout. Rather than say what I like about the game, which has been said by dozens of other people, I'd rather address a few of the complaints I see from people in the negative reviews.

>The game fails to represent mental illness
Though a valid criticism, not all mental illness is the same. I've had depression for years, and the majority of the ideas and emotions this game conveys are things I've felt and experienced throughout my life. If you don't relate to it, that's fine; everyone has different experiences.

>The game manipulates files on your PC
I didn't experience this, with the exception of a single image on my desktop. No wallpaper changes, no file editing, nothing of that sort.

>The graphics aren't good, regardless of setting.
I like the minimalistic style of most of the game. You are not meant to appreciate the beauty of this game's world; instead, you are meant to experience a bleak, dark atmosphere, and the stylistic choices are intentional.

>The game is frustrating, boring, etc.
The game isn't intended to be fun, entertaining, or easy (though most of the game is rather simple in its completion). If you are looking for a game to cure your boredom or be a walk in the park, you're in the wrong place; this is more of an experience than a game.

Most every other criticism wasn't even worth mentioning. Things like no mouse inversion don't constitute a negative review on a rather fantastic game.

Overall, a 9/10 from me; the only thing that keeps it from a full 10 is lack of replayability, as seeking out hidden achievements in a game such as this doesn't seem very appealing.
