Wow, thank you so much! I apologize for such a late response — but I'll be posting a walkthrough file ASAP and I hope you decide to revisit it!
Hi!
I just replayed the game, and the good news is I got much father than I did the first time haha!
The bad news is I'm still stuck :(
Could I ask one question to try and progress?
After the path is opened to the shed and the lake, what do I do? I saw a few other comments mentioning a hole behind a crate, but I couldn't find one (unless they mean the hole behind the dresser in the bedroom after the room goes creepy? Which I couldn't figure out how to get to)
This is a super amazing game and I'm really looking forward to hopefully being able to finish it some day! On this playthrough I was particularly impressed with the music. It is delightfully creepy!
