David O'Reilly is an Irish animation artist who is best known for creating the indelible and very, very funny fake videogame in last year's Oscar-winning Her.

Anyways, the way the thing starts is it asks you a few cryptic, Rorschach-type queries, and then it makes you a mountain. My mountain looks like this:
