This was such a relaxing and wholesome experience, and I like how you made this about our wholesome GWJ community. Nice to make the dog such a part of your gameplay, instead of just being pettable ^^. Having the different interactables like a rope, a weapon and a light also made the gameplay more varied/interesting.
The part in the cave was pretty long, and I toggled my flashlight off and on after which it didn't feel as bright anymore. I'm not sure if that's on me though.
