I instantly saw this story coming from the first moment as it was nearly exactly the same as my first idea for a game. I think that makes it all the more impressive that I was the most moved by this compared to any other story so far. Being able to play with the dog for a bit and then choose to move on really brought touched me, probably partially due to the loss of my own dog a few years prior 💕. I think the projectiles were a little underused as I only really used them in one level and a little bit in another one. The atmosphere was fantastic and I loved talking to the NPCs and the little quest, although it was a small addition it really made the world feel that much more alive. I only had one or two bugs, the first level's elevator didn't go down for me for awhile and I thought there was something I had to do but I just didn't trigger it somehow. Great job but I don't think I can handle another oop the dog's dead game.
