Nice and neat game. The music is good, control is decent. If the game has more levels and more tricky objects, it will probably become one of the best game in this jam.

nice graphic and game. I would recommend to introduce what crime is it at the first, since now the it give the feeling to me that I am simply going to different location without a clear purpose. The scene is large and many repetitive rooms and many bloods on the ground, I wonder what will be the actual crime behind it so I will engage into finding the clues more.
this plot reminds me the scene about Mr. bean playing VR game XD. I would suggest even the same type of enemy can have faster or different moving speed to keep up the difficulty as the game goes on, just like the dog attack style relies on the timing of attack is a good variety to keep the game interesting.
horror game really relies on the mood and atmosphere, you nailed it on the visual and audio. And the introduction of different audio and weird creatures really make it horrifying.
For the visual: I would recommend adding some flickering visual, such as a flickering ceiling light or table lamb. The weather maybe rainy and sometimes thunder come out. frightening creatures can be added between the short time of lighting.
For the audio: I would really suggest an ambience sound (room tone) and other sound effects can be added to further build up the horror vibe. You can always hear those hollow and windy atmosphere sound continues to exist in the horror movie. Sometimes laughing sound, metal, high pitched, glass broken sound can build up the tension further more. These kind of technique would be kind of canned effect and stereotype, but it really produce instant effect within limited production time.
great pixel art and game experience, I encounter an issue while after enter a few camps and water supplies, I manage to go to another camping spot. After I clicked the camp button, the panel of water consumption and sleep replenish pops out, but at this point I can't click on anything, I can click on the option button and close back the option panel, but the panel of camping still doesn't have any response. I don't know the result but maybe because I fast click the camp button frequently while the man is still walking into the camp so something of the input signal gets wrong?
the graphics are great and some of the effect is beautiful. I would say if you are making this as running game. It is better to make the player run forward automatically no matter what, and collide in any obstacle or falling down is not allowed. Since now we can control whether we run forward or not, furthermore the score still increases even we stay still and thus the game loses its rule and purpose.
the game is fun, sometimes the thin wood or window frame is really difficult to see and this enhanced the difficulty. I like that you add different objects and shape as the level getting harder.
(a tiny sudden thought, if you give more meaning to not real blocks/objects, such as those objects are the child that doesn't like, or the bad experience he faced at the past, this can bring more depth to the overall story of the game.)
