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!
