I got it. Found the starting point for the first Shrine (even thou it is super dark and very difficult to see).
Moved on from that and, yeah. Like I said, not a bad looking game, but the map function is uncomfortable to use, because the player has to pause the game and look at the map. I would be easy to have a certain key binding, like with the cross to hide/unhide the map - much easier.
Found the monster - decent looking and creepy, sadly, instant kill.
Once again, good luck with the game, I do hope 2 major suggestions about the darkness of the game and the map will be considered. Best to you!
