 This Youtube video explaining "Why we have hiccups", has a short visual gag animation showing a lady using an air tank to inflate herself like a balloon:

 

 I really liked it, and wanted to imitate it's visual style of characters and objects colored white against a soft color background. It took me a while to figure out how to include this scene in a game context in a way that I liked, maybe like two weeks? Maybe a little less, I'm not sure.

 Once I had the story of this game organized in my mind, I challenged myself to complete it in 10 days. That might explain why it is so short, but a short deadline motivated me to keep working hard on it.

 At least 4 minutes of entertainment estimated

Update (May 24th 2022):

Marta Scuba Diving unused cutscene

Now when the game starts, besides the language options you have a third option called Demo01. This allows to watch an unfinished cutscene for an unrelated unfinished game, also featuring Marta, in which she is wearing scuba diving gear and inflates like a balloon because of wrong regulation of air pressure from her oxygen tank. A or B button to progress through the cutscene (it will restart when you reach the end), Select button to restrart cutscene, or Start button to go back to options screen (note you might need to hold the button down for it to work sometimes).
