Took a couple tries but I beat it! the enemies were pretty tough to avoid sometimes for sure. One comment about the camera was that sometimes it seemed fairly arbitrary on where it was located and pointed. If I immediately went to the bridge, I could see the entire Dark Zone area pretty well, but in my first play I actually went 'up' and followed the fence, the long way, to the bridge, and when I entered the Dark Zone, the camera was fairly 'below' me so I couldn't see over the horizon at all.
however, after a few playthroughs I started getting the hang of ways to wander around a bit until the camera got to a spot that seemed easier to see.
Overall really great entry for your first jam :)
