i think im just gonna reply this here in hopes of maybe furthering the secret discussions from here/below because i think theyre interesting, but also cause i didnt want to put a question like this right at the top around the game's release date.
I really enjoyed this game though, the art is lovely and it's cute and spooky.

regarding what u said though, i'm somewhat convinced there's some small further secret regarding the card info & i noticed while playing through the game that there are some unused folders for objects we dont interact with; (window) and (bed). they appear once the object is interacted with.
though one thing I didnt check is if there were any extra folders made during the garden segment, or momentarily during the end convo of the game.
my take was also that the eyes gif was Dark's spooky spirit hiding out in that cage just by the eyecolour motif.
anyway ive tried alot of the same stuff & im not sure what other use the card numbers would be, since you cant dial 4 digits on the phone. maybe water plant3+1/pet4+1? ( or maybe itll be in a later game, idk :0 )
..also there's a file that doesnt appear during the normal game path in the game files. it doesnt exactly help to know that at all though, because its devoid of the context that would make it useful. i felt kinda bad for finding it in possibly a cheap way though, although just knowing an extra file exists doesnt magically solve a puzzle (if there is one); i just have no idea where to find it ingame, and dont want to if i cant find it naturally. so maybe it's fine. idk i was just curious. the game is about messing with files, afterall. anyway the real question is what context would it appear in; the game isnt rly interactable after the point where i'd assume it would be applicable.
given what it's called i assume itd have to do with what happens with -O in the ending, ( or possibly the (4) file, if the eye colour is meant to imply that that one pet cage is holding dark ) but you cant really interact with the game beyond chatting after that point as far as ive found so im out of ideas.
have tried a few folder shenanigans like (MENU) or (MAINMENU) considering that's where the object in question appears. idk what would happen though, really.
- all i will say is I gather from the file symbols (♡:⬜/⬛) are counterparts. maybe inversely, tho that was already my thought initially upon opening (body)
we resurrect (dark), though deleting (light) also becomes a question in itself with context. aaa thats totally overthinking it now lmao, it prob just refers to -O at the end.
and of course, maybe there's just no further secret in this game, and it's a setup for a sequel? whooo knooooows, but the game was a neat journey either way.
I really want to believe theres something here though! but i have no idea what else to try after playing through it like alot of times trying stuff everyone had already tried, among other things.
