Thanks for playing and streaming the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to grind out to the good ending! We actually got some good insight from your stream as we noticed a glitch in the ending script. The padlock is only for either the front door or basement door so there is no securing the barn, though that would've been a good idea to implement. The ring is just some spicey lore it has no impact on the game. The glitch was that you aren't supposed to board the door and cover it with the cabinet as the cabinet is enough to fend off the wolves. So the boarding that would've been applied to the basement door kind of counted when it shouldn't have. 'Tis a learning process and this is def our most intricate and longest game so far so it was a good thing to notice. Thanks again!
