I really like the idea and storytelling. I think it fits the theme really well. The programming and game implementation need some work (it froze a lot for me, I assume as it was loading things for the next scene). Good job. This is a solid submission!
I built a multiplayer game too, but I ended up building dumb bots that join when people have been waiting too long so that players can at least get a sense for the game. I like your idea of trying to organize a time for people to join so they can experience it. I never got past the lobby waiting for players, but I agree with the other commenter that your music is great. Good luck.
