I like "maze" games but I had a hard time with this one.  I like the atmosphere that you created (especially with the fog) but a few points of constructive criticism. With it being so dark and foggy it's hard to tell when you are walking and not.  I could still hear foot steps while I was walking into a wall (technically not going anywhere) that was confusing (because I hear myself walking but I'm not going anywhere.)  And I tried running and it felt the same as walking and the footstep noise sounded the same so I couldn't tell when I was running or not.  In all fairness I might have been accidentally holding down the CAPS LOCK key and not the SHIFT key. The flashlight didn't seem to do much for lighting up the environment in general.  I found it useless and basically walked around without it.  I ended up finding the door before I even found the first crystal.  When I did find a crystal I wasn't able to pick it up (I assume with the "E" button).  So I am not sure what I am supposed to do when I find a crystal.  Also, the AI is a little wonky.  She would find and kill me randomly but yet I could walk right by her several times and nothing would happen.  Shouldn't she be killing me?  Lastly, I LIKED the use of red colors. It let you know when the enemy was near.  I also liked that it reflected off of the flashlight when she was near too.  That was a nice touch.  I am sorry if I sounded too critical, and I do realize this is a game jam with a 10 day limit.  Overall you have a really good game! I hope you continue to tweak it and make it even better.

This was actually really well done for a first game, especially considering the attention spent to making a creepy atmosphere. I hope you stick with it!
