green square represents a painful memory
the psychologist represents Jack's last hope
the game is Jack's unprogressive visits
the shadows are Jack's repetitive negative thinking...they help him chase after the illusion of memory...but soon they force him to carry them everywhere, like in level 19...and they can be a very heavy burden...until in desperation he is destroying himself in the end just for it to be over...to either have the illusion or nothing..
