Like the idea with the cellphone as the flashlight and as a sort of timer. The atmosphere was good and the game conveyed a feeling of being trapped in a dark maze very well. It might have helped to have some variation in the walls.
Loved the ending! Straight and to the point! The game did have a Beginner's Guide vibe to it.
For me, personal preference, some form of map or at least an rough indication if you've been somewhere before. I didn't know if I'd gone over the same spot, whether the door I'd opened was a door I'd already opened. You can see it's meant to be realistic, but if it was realistic I'd have a stone or somat to mark on the walls so I'd know if I've been that way.... few little additions for people like me and it would be more enjoyable. Good attempt overall though, especially getting the 'young-uns' to join in and help you with the design.
Great ambient sounds, and the footsteps are nice too. The little thought blurbs from the character actually made me curious and I enjoyed getting an additional one as a reward each time I got a door open. I made it out and was hoping to meet Jimmy... perhaps in a prequel
