A lot of devlogs, I like it. Also I agree with your stance on AI and it's great that most game assets is done by you, I'm trying to achieve the same, but I'm terrible at art and ym game looks much worse:P. 

As per game feedback, it's looking cool, but it may use some UX / usability improvement. It would be great to have keyboard key for interaction, like space or something like that, clicking mouse is okay, but all other controls are on keyboard so it would be good for consistency. 

I ws also confused by fishing as pointed out in other comments. It would be good for game to feedback to the player if he's doing the right thing or not, or push into right direction.

Overall great art and cool vibe, looking for more actual gameplay!

This game is so cute. It has such a sweet and cozy vibe to it. The art is wonderful and the animations are delightful. I really enjoyed wandering around, and I loved getting to feed Nessie.

The exclamation mark during the fishing animation confused me at first. I thought it was an indication of a quick time event and so clicked again. My partner pointed out that I didn't need to do anything else once I started fishing, and that getting a fish seemed to be based on the fish jumping animation. Adding a quick time event or other interaction could be a nice addition to the fishing.

I think it might be nice if you used a different background color for the cave. The dark green color works really well in the forest, and worked well in the yurt, but it stood out to me in the cave. It made the cave feel less natural, and made it feel smaller. Using a similar color for the background that you used for the top of the rocks could help it feel less square and box-like and more cave like. The sharp lines between the rocks and the background may also be part of why it stands out to me. The transition between the forest and the background has a leafy feel and the general shape of the play area felt nice, and the yurt has curves that match the shape of it. The area you can walk in in the cave felt natural and cave like; continuing that shape instead of turning it into a square could be another way to make it feel less jarring.

Overall, you have a really good start for a game, and you did a lot of really good work. It would be fun to see where you take it if you keep working on it. (I love the idea of having a garden to interact with! Maybe you can feed Nessie more than just fish?)

Your Nessie is cute. The artwork in general is nice. This is a good start for a learning project. Looking over your devlogs, you've made great progress.

I hope the below doesn't come across too critical. These are just some things I noticed.

After clicking to play the instrument in the yurt I walked away and then was not able to interact with anything else. I had to refresh the page.

After clicking to sit on the log I tried to click again to get off, but no matter where I clicked it kept sitting back on the log. I also tried using WASD to move. After a bit the character got off the log, but I was treating it like the lights as something you toggle. I'm not sure how best to convey that it is a preset animation, rather than click to sit and click to get up. One option would be to disable/ignore the input while the animation is running so it doesn't restart with each click.

It might help if you required the player to click on the object to trigger it, instead of clicking anywhere on the screen. You can have a generously large area be clickable. I just think it would be nicer if you clicked on the object, as clicking in different areas causing me to get back on the log seemed a bit odd to me.

When the exclamation mark appears above the frog's head, I clicked again, which restarted the fishing. It made me think it was an interactive event and you had to click quickly enough when it appeared to catch a fish. After seeing the animation restarting I acknowledged it was just an animation, like with the log.

When first bringing up the Pause screen it looks like the volume slider is set to 0/the bottom. Clicking anywhere but the top lowers the volume, when it looks like it should be raising it.

For web, pressing escape exits fullscreen, so it is good to have an alternative input option, such as P, to pause.

Overall, this is looking nice. Keep up the good work.

Nice work, beautiful art.

An option for full screen would be appreciated; this can be done from the itch page.
