Hello! Really glad you've been having a good time so far!
So multiple stuff here going at once, most of them my fault:
- Entities should not be able to enter the area, but I guess they can
- Entities can not attack you in the area (at least this one seems to work!)
- The maze is supposed to be disorienting, but not impossible
As a sorta hint, when the stand with figures appears, you can look what direction they're facing, and head that way.
If you still get stuck, you can just pick a single direction, and open doors until you hit a wall, then pick left/right and keep opening doors that way until you find the exit. Or go to the pause menu and hit the UNSTUCK button.
I'll definitely take another look at these issues and try to improve them for the next update, sorry for the confusion!
edit - also no clue if there's a way to mark spoilers, and thanks for thinking about that! It would probably be good to remove some of the details to minimize spoilers, since I don't think you can add spoiler tags and I'd love for people as many people to get a fresh experience with no spoilers as possible!
edit2 - also note that the doors have a random chance to open, it doesn't mean they're locked
