You've got a very good low-contrast theme going on here, and a simple but great backstory idea. The GUI is nice and simple, but you've got some wrapping problems with that text. :X

You should really take this idea a step up and try designing more stuff for this "game". Maybe a list of all the usable items or some enemies? I think it would be cool if the main character could find stuff like wrenches and box cutters to use as weapons.

 Hah! I love it, Both concept and execution!

But I think the (what I assume to be) floppy disk from the (I assume) save box isn't that readable, specially the brown over brown version drawn on the box iself.

Maybe adding an extra color, or playing with contrast would help.

strange and interesting

Hah, nice. I like the graphics a lot. I think the blue on the cat's face is a bit weird - I think more of a brown color would match. In any case, it's pretty well done!

Lovely idea, i'd certainly play it!

 There's just something about those boxes that makes them look fantastic, love it.
