This is probably the most polished game I found so far for this jam. I see a lot of efforts were put on almost every aspect of the game either it's graphic, sound or gameplay. The only thing I might add would be that the difficulty is lessen a bit. You could include a checkpoint instead of restarting from the start. If you don't want to include a checkpoint. maybe make the detection meter rate slower, add a viewpoint for the npc or allow the player to hide after they get caught .
