I think you nailed the concept of horror very well! You can limit information to create suspense and subvert expectations to create surprise, and this game does both. The lack of visibility means the player always feels powerless and doesn't know anything. The monster being visible gives people a false sense of security "oh it's far away" but the sudden zoom in if you get too close is unexpected and thus scary. The sounds definitely help. I like that you are forced to keep moving because you have limited time, causing stress too. Overall, you achieved what you were going for!

very scary, i love it, the monster's art is very cool

it was incredible how suspenseful it made me feel, everything was well executed, I loved it. 

Very creepy and dark which compliments the theme of the game jam well but was pretty difficult (at least for me).  For a game that was made under 72 hours it is impressive. I like the pixel art style and the monster is terrifying. I never found the end but I'm sure it is there in the dark somewhere. :D The matchstick burning and running out is a nice touch too. If you get the chance check out my submission.
