I found this to be an amazing experience, not only because it is honestly interesting to be asked so many questions . But by the end result getting a personalised answer that anyone needs to hear for themselves. I answered honestly and the word I got was:-

Secret Word:-Greed

At the end I was told that I've been through alot in my life and still am but I need to stay positive and spread it like the plague. The end result honestly is some of the words I needed to hear and feel better over some things that's recently happened. I struggle with family life, alot and soon will be heading off to University after years of wanting to be away from a situation that's hard to escape from. I got down again after telling great news , which got dismissed as soon as I said.

Seriously this game is great for both fun and also if you feel honestly you need to hear words of advice, words you need to hear or feel. Whether it's either good or positive. I would recommend playing this game and keeping it as I think it's great if needing to calm down or to hear if your answer changes based on your 'Circumstances'.

A Blooming Experience- A more than gloomy Game play

The game has you play as the wind moving flowers and petals alike to spread nature and its glory. A strong message behind the game makes the game have the message impact it certainly was going for. However the game itself is lacking in areas. For gamers , they will find this experience to be lack luster at best whilst those who are here for the message will find what they are looking for.

But the importance is gameplay, the unique control of the wind makes the game ever more immersive , more uncontrollable. However you could find yourself as the wind feeling quite sick as the jolts of your control being pulled away almost every 5 minutes made me quickly tire of the gameplay's look.

Though the story is strong, I am rather confused of the silence that fills the full game. For the full time, it is quiet. Forcing you to either listening to music of your own, or having to record in silence. This made the game feel less relaxing and more stressful like a horror game.

Pros
The games message- Everyone would understand the message of the game and how nature is importance to us and how urban landscape. Its message can be made stronger if you spent alot of time getting everything in the one area. However for me the time for the reward wouldn't be worthwhile.
Unique Controls- If you can get over your motion sickness, I would recommend this game as it makes you feel like the petals in the wind have weight and feels unique to this game play style. However I understood alot of criticism about the sickness as some points your fighting with the camera.
Graphics- I loved the look of the game, the simplistic yet brightly coloured world is great to simply sit and watch . Especially during some scenes where the colour is heavily edited to contrast or clash.

Cons
Music-A game, must have music to fill the silent void . I found the only music was during the animation that would start or end of your 15 minute gameplay. This means the game more scary than anything else whilst I felt uncomfortable playing in the silence. I would recommend playing your own music however, if the game has its own music. It would be able to pull emotions, especially in the later part of the game. Where the mood turns darker, and ambient rain and storm sounds are most apparent.
Gameplay- Playing the game is fun however the lack of a motive or goal, allowing you to do what ever you want caused me alot of time to find the end as quickly as I can, as spending time in each area becomes a hassle.
Achievements- The achievements for the game doesn't award progression, but instead awards time spent in the game. This would make sense if it certainly a game you can replay. However for an experience, I found myself not wanting to play again to gain the amount of achievements that requires time, even one asking you to sit for a certain amount of time before moving. I felt this could of been improved.

The game overall I say needs improvement, and maybe made for the experience rather than made to be played. Watching this would of been better than playing as I found myself not enjoying it especially to the end. Its great in graphical and impactful story however dragged down by not allowing gameplay and music to be the star of this game.
