Yeah the reason why they kill you is because they slowly shrink. The best way to have done it would've been to check if you were touching 2 or 3 walls at once but since I was low on time I wasn't able to get around to that. Basically the game is an escape room puzzle horror game, which definitely isn't everybody's cup of tea.

Oh ok, I've gone back and played it again and it's quite fun. I still can't solve it, and I see the key in the desk but can't pick it up, but the style is great and it's a great idea. After like two minutes I just started running into the door, looking back to that the first row of desks is gone is terrifying.
