I immediately suspected this was going to be a game very similar to Ben Leffler's Exmortis. Unfortunately, it was very lacking by comparison although it showed a lot of potential.
You should consider making the obtainable and viewable items (keys, books, etc.) a little more realistic instead of drawing them. As you did with the gun, use real images, and spend a little more time cropping them to get rid of the extra white pixels. That will make your game look a tad more professional.
(You should also add an inventory.)
The same goes for the screamer faces- they were only partials that looked badly cropped. Try to find better images to use.
The game itself is far too short, over in about 3 minutes, and the one puzzle is far to easy to decipher. Utilize the 4 rooms and various hallways/stairwells better and add more puzzles which are intertwined. Also, make the clues a little more cryptic rather than simply plastering them on a wall in plain sight. You made it too easy.
Although the gun served to momentarily deceive the player into thinking they were in control, it really served no purpose. As cool as guns are, it just didn't fit. A melee weapon such as a pipe or a knife would have been more suitable, but even so if it cannot be used then what is the point?
Overall, I thought the environments were well done and the game had a lot of potential, you simply need to utilize that potential. Make it longer, more extensive story wise and more involving other than just a few quick scares and one simple puzzle, and then you've got something.

Needs vocals and maybe SLIGHTLY different guitar distortion, otherwise thanks for the full four-and-a-half mins. of arena shaking metal.
(Maybe more like epic war music, like an army of grotesque demons storming a 12th century gothic castle, then a raven with firey eyes perches on a wizards arm after the dust settles from the hellish slaughter or something. Whatever, I've been drinking.)

Well done on pulling off Skwizgaar's solo properly.
