It's fine to use squares as your subjects, but a black and white game without creatures and god like powers will simply be too boring for the average person to spend time on it. You'll want to add some color and even some images to help convey the psychological state of the person playing. A social butterfly for example would see bright colors with flowers and butterflies on the screen whereas an introvert may see darker colors with a more sinister theme. Whatever you do, it should be worth 5 minutes of someone's time, not 5 seconds 
Good idea, i was intending to make the squares colored (red and blue, and i'm telling you too much with this) if the player decides to act in a more social way, but adding some background colors and colored effects would look really nice for that kind of player. As for introverts, I'll try to stay with black and white, and gloomy music, which is also the starting point of the game. Still, there will be several ways to play the game, and I want to try to differentiate them as the player progresses.
