It is like a grey squirrel balanced on a branch, fearless

Way to Go is a walk in the woods. It is an astonishing interactive experience, a restless panorama, a mixture of hand-made animation, 360˚ video capture, music and dreaming and code; but mostly it is a walk in the woods, c'mon. Created by Vincent Morisset, Philippe Lambert, Édouard Lanctôt-Benoit & Caroline Robert (AATOAA). Produced by the NFB & France TV.
Was not expecting to drown and have the river turn to blood before being teleported to a psychedelic forest. Otherwise, awesome!

It's not really a walk. It's sometimes haunting. If you were ever chased through a forest, it might turn out not to your liking. But I love it.

I can see how the figure(s) in black might seem creepy, but you can also view them as guides, or fellow-travelers.
Pro-tip: You can fly! And do flips while flying.

Um, am I missing something or is the is an April Fool's joke that I don't get? All I'm seeing is the landing screen and I can 'walk' 'run' or jump a white line across the screen and that's it.
ETA: NVM it loaded on the third try.

Agree with many above, it's a cool experience. After closing the tab, however, I've been getting a dialog in firefox that "a-way-to-go.com has taken control of your pointer. Press Esc to take back control." (iirc) Pressing Esc does nothing. The tab isn't open. FF task manager shows nothing. Is there a way to get rid of it?
