Heya, thanks for playing! Unfortunately, we didn't get the time during the jam to add a proper ending, so you always will die at the end of the dirt road. The way to avoid dying until that point is to turn around periodically, which scares away the monster.
Awesome! Shouldn't be too hard, it takes about 2 mins of not turning around for the creature to get you. To be safe, just do a 360 every minute or so XD
