As I think everyone said, I love the art!
I also found the automatic camera orientation jarring, since I would feel like I had a pretty good handle on the camera+movement system and then have the camera yank away from me.
I didn't check the game page until after I died the first time, so it would be nice to have a cue that you can raise the torch, even if it's something subtle like an "X" forming in the campfire smoke to keep with the aesthetic. Since I already had my fingers on "A" and "D", "X" didn't occur to me as a key I should try.
Also, and this might be something that would be fixed with sound, it wasn't clear to me when and why I was succeeding at burning away the wolves. I thought I was doing it right for a couple of them until I finally had one explode, and I guess my losses were spread out enough that it didn't kill me, but I don't know! Just something to think about, I guess.
I look forward to seeing where you go with it! Really neat idea and execution.
