Really glad you enjoyed it that much, and thank you so much for the feedback!! Sadly, we couldn't fix the softlock in the dog scene in time, and we're really sorry it got in the way during your playthrough. But regardless, thank you for pointing it out, we'll make sure to fix it if we update the game someday! (We'll also think about what to do with the vines, since we agree they can be hard to distinguish from other plants at first, so thanks again!)
