I really enjoyed playing that game as well.
On a side note, games likes these convince me that video games have the potential to transcend into art, but that it's maybe not a good fit to actually call them video games, as the game mechanic plays a minor role in relation to the content.
If a game like A House in California wouldn't require a computer to be played, but rather interacting with physical objects instead, it would be called an art installation.
Just a thought. And it's off-topic really. Just wanted to share.
