First off, thank you all so much for your continued support. The kind words, bug reports, and amazing Steam reviews have been a huge source of motivation for me. I couldn’t have come this far without you.

If you encounter any issues, please don’t hesitate to report them. I’m already working on the next update, which will let you have multiple pets and includes quality-of-life improvements based on your feedback, like customers *actually* using the trash bins.
