does the monster ever kill you? I did hug it quite often (but it did not make me less scared when I heard it from afar...)
Hey there! Thanks for leaving a comment, I did the enemy ai for this game so I thought I would jump in here. Contact with the enemy will generally make you lose the game, but if you spot it before it gets too close then it will 'flee' and basically reset, while it's fleeing it might bump into you but you won't lose for it.
