You had a lot of great ideas in this one!
I think what works best is the short field of view and the remaining corpses, there is definitely something to dig with that! Sometimes seeing the blood would remind me that a trap is somewhere near. I think it would be really cool if you could use this mechanic to help the player avoid dangers.
However, I still think some traps are a little unfair, like the rolling rocks that are incredibly hard to avoid, or the "leap of faith" when you don't see where you have to jump.
Great work!
I think this is a good start for a platformer. It has nice visuals and gameplay ideas, although didn't get the adventure type relation and got frustrated really quickly. (maybe a bit too hard)
We also created a game for the jam if you want to take a look. Is called "Zeqecu: Machinaria Files"
Cheers!
Sound and music is probably the most worthwhile thing you could do to make this platformer feel a bit better.
This game reminds me of Super Meat Boy in that it's really difficult, but has tight controls! After a while I got a hang of it and I didn't die all the time.
The shadow mechanism works well I think! It certainly feels like something new, at least I haven't tried a platform game with this much "fog of war". It's a cool idea!
With a little more time you could expand this to something really interesting with more variation in enemies, level design and maybe obstacles. Sounds as well, as others have mentioned.
But for two weeks this is a great foundation! 
Nice game: graphic were good but was missing a walk and jump animation
Music and sounds would have been nice (I saw them in the menu so I could have accidentally turned them off)
the corpses, which were a nice touch, could be more interesting. Maybe they could be collided with and used as a platform or maybe they emit light allowing the player to see better.
lots of red arrows began appearing and I got stuck on that level so I stopped, but other then that, solid game.
