When making this I was thinking that the answers to those would be yes, no, and no, but I was far from having a very firm idea of how those answers would actually play out in the game’s story.
Though really, if you'd prefer to imagine that she's stuck like this, or that the reindeer that was meant to be brought in would have also been anthropomorphic or something, definitely feel free, haha
(...as for a sequel, well, I was strongly considering expanding this a bit after the jam to offer a few different endings based on choices in a short exploration segment set in the barn, but I'm not sure whether people would prefer that vs moving on to another project)
