Fantastic cutscene, lovely premise. and beautiful art. The music fits well, and the SFX are very good. I managed to find the fishing mini game and caught 3 fish which was a nice relaxing time. I then back tracked, and was slightly disappointed that the alternative set of steps was impassable, and that I couldn't stroke the cat to get it to roll over, and move out of the way. A small point, but it would have been nice. I didn't have any difficulty climbing, found the camp site, lit the fire and then got stuck... I rang the bell at the start, but could only do it once. Is this the lantern you mention in the description?
Overall a very enjoyable game, the biggest issue for me was the interaction UI. The white circle being filled up by a slightly different coloured white circle was very difficult to see at times, depending on what the background was behind, and whilst I realized I needed to stop holding "E" in the thicker part of the circle at the top, this wasn't very clear because of that UI.
Great job!!
