i've played through this twice and i still don't get it at all. there doesn't seem to be any point in almost the entire house outside of flavour - which would be fine if that was the intention, but then why bother with the key? and why have a cow in the secret room? is this game /supposed/ to be a string of complete nonsequiturs? is there some kind of background information i'm supposed to know, or something?
also, trying to instantly walk back outside when you enter the ship softlocks you in the void.
