Wow! Thank you for streaming the game! Glad you guys liked it! Found some bugs and things we could've made more obvious as you play lol but it was really cool to see someone else play our game :D Just as an explanation, to aim the leash and ball, you had to move the camera so the center was on the object you wanted to hit/grab. Could've made that more clear with like a reticle or something. The "letter" on the dresser y'all mentioned was just window dressing.
SPOILERS:
In terms of how you're intended to beat the level. You did everything basically right til you got over the barrier. At that point you were supposed to grab the leash, jump and grab the bone with the leash. You then use the bone to distract the guard like you did. Was interesting to see how you grabbed the bone though lol
Again thank you for playing, streaming/uploading and enjoying our game! I'll be posting a new calming/relaxing beta of a game soon I did for my class this semester if you're interested!
