Nice atmosphere! I also loved the level design, felt very skyrim-ish and eerie. :) Unfortunately I got stuck, after I found the golden statue. I found another character trapped, but was not able to free them or get past them.
One thing that I missed, was the sound of my footsteps. But that could be on me, since I played it on Linux on Bottles.
Ahh you were so close! There's one last puzzle after you get the golden idol, just have to observe / think backwards a bit. You can actually just barely see the other figure earlier, but it is a missable moment if you go quick. The last puzzle doesn't have to do with him at all.
I fiddled with footstep SFX but in the time allotted, I couldn't get them sounding nice enough that they were a plus and not a minus. Maybe after the jam period I'll give it another crack, I agree it would fill up the soundscape appropriately.
