Very cool idea! I don't believe I've played anything exactly like this before and it couldn't be a better fit for the theme of the jam. The number of controls shown at the beginning is a bit intimidating (I never experimented with LMB/RMB while hooked) but once I got the hang of it, moving around and interacting with enemies was fun. A promising prototype. Could really benefit from some thoughtful sound design especially since your core mechanic has escalating tension built into it!
