Similar to what other people have commented I think it was just too dark or the run speed was too fast, I would try to use the flash to get an idea of what the room looked like and then I would move but I think I would immediately be on the other side of the room which disorienting. I wish the photos you left behind would glow a little or reflect the light of the screen more. I think the idea is there though and it seems like such an easy fix, with just a small tweak you could have a really solid, spooky game on your hands!
