Good evening. Sorry to bring up yet another issue, but I can't seem to be able to open the 'animals_4.jpg' image. I have solved the other puzzles, but this image refuses to open on both Windows Photo Visualizer and paint.net, which leaves me unable to I solve the last puzzle... If this is part of the ARG (I've even tried opening it on notepad, haha,) then forgive my ignorance!!

Edit: Changing the extension to .webp solved it!

Ohhhh okay crazy -- weird it was a webp?!? 

My Mac shows it and reads it as a jpeg... hum....

Yeah, looking in it as text confirms its a webp. Just an fyi, lots of OSs/photo viewer things just kinda... try to interpret the file in different common formats if it fails to load in whatever format the extension says it is. My OS is pretty ancient (32-bit W7) so it probably doesnt even know what a webp is and fails to fallback properly, while yours is newer and maybe can handle it better?? idk, just glad I figured it out!

Suuuper excited about the jam, and heres to hoping we can all make some great games! :D

Ah k cool.

Ohhh heh well glad you found that!

Yay!  Excited to see what you and all the other jammers make!

it is a jpg, they're saying they had to manually change it to a webp to be able to look at it at all.
also for the record i also had issues with opening it with windows photos - the window just kinda froze whenever i opened it. my workaround was just using the preview of the file in google drive lol.
