I'm feeling a bit silly here but I can't quite work out how to start this game? It tells me it's too scary to go east, but I can't work out what I need to do in order to leave?

Thanks for looking at my game! I somehow missed the alert email, but having missed it for 2 days was motivation enough for me to set up a daily timer to visit Itch.io, so that's good overall.
Hopefully you've been able to play and rate other games in the meantime.
I'll try and give hints in rot13, so you (or others curious) have a chance for an a-ha moment. (I didn't have time to give first-point clues for EctoComp, but I hope things make sense. And your question gives me a good idea for post-comp cluing.)

I hope this helps for more than just your first point. There are some alternate solutions, but I'm also aware of a lot that I missed that I want to put into a post-comp release, as well as a few bugs.
Hopefully the walkthrough I recently attached will help pull you through, though, if things get too sticky. If you have any more questions, ask--I'd love for QQNN to have more robust hinting for its second/final release, and good questions help with that.
