I really like how the game is played through your terminal, I've always had an interest in ASCII-style games; though the player movement is a bit odd, I see you said its made that way on purpose, and maybe some ASCII art for a display of where you are would feel immersive, kinda like EXIT from the show Mr.Robot.
Overall I think this is definitely outside the box from the normal jam submission, I'm sure making a purebred console game with various text coloring and etc isn't a simple task, I wish you luck on future projects!
