I have mixed feelings about this. With all the random pagan stuff around the christian place (which might have a plot reason) and the fact that the main character immediately took a crucifix with him, it seemed really off to me that he just let Jones into the crypt alone and went back to the chapel. I also didn't quite see the point of having to walk an alternative path to the crypt when there was nothing challenging, scary, or explorable on the way and the shortcut just magically opened afterward.
I've only played Room 202 of your games so far but Unholy felt really rough in comparison. You'll get there eventually.
