Dear goose-nest,
My name is Hayato Nakada from DREAMSCAPE https://x.com/game_dreamscape , a Japan-based indie game showcase. We will host a horror-only game exhibition on January 18, 2026, at Akihabara UDX (Tokyo).
For this event, we are planning a collaboration with “Godaka” (https://x.com/G_Godaka), a creator known for introducing indie games on social media.
Within this collaboration, your title, “petsitting,” was highlighted as a notable work,
and we would like to invite you to exhibit.
If you’re interested, we can support you via proxy exhibiting (exhibit on your behalf). If you provide trailer, screenshots, and a playable build, our team will handle booth setup, presentation,
and attendee guidance on-site.
※ Exhibiting is free of charge.
Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to feature your work at DREAMSCAPE.
Best regards,
Hayato Nakada

Hi! I wanted to report a bug I just encountered... I don't really know if I can consider this a bug or if I'm doing it wrong, but I got stuck on this part, even pressing the interact key and even clicking all the keys to see if it worked, but nothing. And I wanted to know if you could fix this problem or help me try to do something to be able to play the game...
Have a good day!
