The lighting sells it: the torch flicker, the vignette and the dust in the air make the manor feel close without going murky. The touch controls are also a real port, not an afterthought. The joystick cleans up on pointerup/pointercancel/lostpointercapture, and pointer lock is skipped on touch.


Three things I found on the web build:


1. Keys can get stuck after alt-tab. Keyboard state only resets on keyup (const K={} plus the keydown/keyup listeners), and there's no blur or visibilitychange handler. If you hold W, alt-tab, and let go while the browser isn't focused, the browser never gets that keyup. Coming back, the character keeps walking until you press and release W again. In my test the character walked into a hallway wall on its own. One line fixes it: addEventListener('blur', () => { for (const k in K) K[k] = 0; }).


2. The Gloam's audio never plays. 'starting sound.mp3' and 'second sound.mp3' return 404 from the build root. Your error handler catches it, so nothing crashes, but the chase cue is silent. I think the two files didn't make it into the uploaded zip.


3. On a phone-sized portrait screen (412 px wide, emulated), the MAP / MUSIC / PAUSE buttons sit on top of the Day / Difficulty / Keys panel, because #touchUtility and #q are both pinned top-right. Moving #q down when touch controls are showing would clear it.
