MP3 to MIDI?
An MP3, OGG, WMA etc. file is a compressed version of a WAV file, which is a file that measures pressure upon the diaphragm of a microphone. It does not distinguish what type of noise is creating that pressure, whether its a car horn, a violin, or a bird chirping.
A MIDI file is a file read by a computer that is comprised of a series of sequenced notes with specific instrument patches. Think of a MIDI file as sheet music that a computer reads and plays LIVE for you, instead of saving all the sound data in a file and then playing what was already recorded. As you can see, a MIDI does not in any way shape or form contain the same data an MP3 holds. This is why an MP3 is so much larger than a midi. Therefore, conversion from MP3 to midi usually requires someone manually composing the score that makes up the MP3 into a midi sequencer to emulate the song. It won't sound remotely even the same.
That said, there is software that analyzes mp3s and such and creates a basic midi file what the perceived pitches of each note. But like I mentioned earlier, there's generally no way to measure what kind of instrument made each sound on an MP3 file, so files created with this kind of software are generally intended to just be a "start" for midi composers to go in and touch up. Can save a lot of time, but won't be practical for those who aren't already familiar with the format.

I don't know or understand what this game is about, but it's a nice game! It's pretty, has lovely music and sound effects, and an interesting take on gameplay. And the length makes it a brief and crisp experience... like a refreshing glass of lemonade or something. Only except of tasting good, it tastes creepy/ominous. Reminds me of a bite-sized and compressed version of Myst or Riven or something.
In any case, I like this project. Whether or not you finish it is up to you, but I would definitely like to see more stuff like this from you... you know, the mysterious adventure-genre kind of game. I'd like to see one in a full-length type of scale, but that's just me. Nice work!
