I have to admit that I was mightily confused. From the bus into the forest, and suddenly a creature is chasing me? I didn't understand how the map worked either. When the beast finally attacked, I could switch between gestures, but nothing happened as far as I could tell. Not sure  if it wasn't implemented or if I did something wrong. Maybe you could try getting some feedback from beta testers who don't know the plot? I don't mean to sound too harsh, but at the moment it's hard if not impossible to follow the storyline.

I do like the graphics though. Especially the scene with the mushroom. That looks nice. I'm sure with some work you can turn this into an interesting little game :)
