I completed it last night.

Basically took about 2 days to complete. The initial puzzles are easy, 
but the later ones are really quite hard. The "party goer" scene was 
pretty nuts! The heart breaker scene is more tedious than difficult.

I'm now doing the advanced puzzles. The first few were tricky, but the 
final three are, as far as I can tell, mathematically impossible. (E.g., 
you have to walk into a room filled with sentry guns that cannot be 
disabled and place a weight on a button. The walls are all metal, so you 
cannot use portals. You must walk. This is obviously impossible.)

It's quite a... dark... game... isn't it? My favourite quote is still 
this one:

"Note that for this test, a penalty for failure has been added. Touching 
the floor of this chamber will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your 
record (followed by death)."

Also, the way the sentry guns talk to you in those cute little voices... 
"Come here please..." *shudders*

The song at the end is... interesting too.
