I gave it three go-throughs. The first time I got stuck, thought I froze, because I didn't realize the buttons were z, x, and c and the arrow keys. So with that knowledge in hand I gave it another shot.
I petted the cut kitties, but nothing seemed to happen - then it started following me. Then I started taking damage when it caught up to me. I figured the cat was evil and probably wrote the message to pet it - tricksy little kitty. But I made it to a room where the main character decided to wait for help to arrive.
Third playthrough I walked through a wall and kind of 'fell off the map' and got myself confused. But I didn't pet the cat, again, so I'm learning.
All in all it definitely has something here. With a little more effort I can see where a horror influence could be gleaned - some UI and a little more direction, maybe make it a bit easier to tell what you're supposed to be doing and/or what you can interact with.
It's possible I didn't make the areas for interacting with the cat well enough. It's supposed to fling you downward into the wall when you pet it. Anyway, thank you for the detailed feedback.
The buttons are z, x, and c, any of which will continue dialogue. My biggest regret in this build is not putting that immediately as the first thing the player sees.

Got hit by a few bugs here and got myself a but confused before reading the other comments are realising the controls.
I feel like you're on to a good idea here, just needs a bit more polish. Great submission

You definitely like the atmosphere. Very creepy. I think this is very impressive for a game jam game. Good job.
