Hey thanks for playing! Looks like a glitch but Im not surprised the game was made for a gamejam and has a lot of those. You’re supposed to keep running from the man and find a way out!
It was my pleasure! It seemed like part of the game, as I re-entered the protagonist had a line similar to "I can't believe I'm going back in" so it felt like it belonged! It was great man, can't wait to see more from you!
