I really like the visuals and if you peek at my entry you may see some similarities in the technique and color palette :)

Great work. There were a couple issues that you may be able to easily fix with a quick update:

The controls X, C, E are not explained, then I pressed ESC to see the menu (which doesn’t explain all controls either) and then my mouse cursor was not properly captured back by the browser so I couldn’t aim. And since you take over fullscreen I couldn’t go back to check the page definition without reloading the page.
I just found it a little too dark. I couldn’t see anything most of the time. The red boxes are great to indicate interactables, maybe there could be some more red around to indicate things?
Is there any warning about the monster coming? Is there a way to avoid it? Can I fight it? I couldn’t find a way and I ended up rage quitting. If there is a way, give some hints on the dead screen maybe?

In the itch.io page all the controls are listed and red boxes shows puzzles breakable but not necessary escape items like battery(i couldn't do it and the jam ended) C changes bullet type left bottom you can see and the immediate sound changes and dark ness is indicator and unfortunately you can't fight but you pull closing doors and in the tutorial map there is example of how to it so can temporary stop the enemy and please use flashlight (F) for darkness and as the jam end i could not add hints on the end screen but at start there is text of showing your goal! Thanks for Feedback.
