I would have preferred arrow keys for movement. I was aggressively clicking to reach the door on time and end up clicking my bookmarks instead

But perhaps, that is part of the challenge.
I didn't understand at first why the items are considered in strange places... and it dawned on me that I might be a strange person for not finding it strange. I probably would have arranged my house similarly.
It's a cool concept! Maybe you can add random strange objects in the house to add creepiness (e.g. doll heads, barrel of gasoline, bloody shears) Like a hidden story where you are a thief but the house owner is a psychopath. If you don't reach the door on time, something worse will happen than just getting your boss' wrath.
