This game contains at least one sly reference to one of Eric’s books, All Good Things. Traditionally references like this in a game are called "Easter eggs", but we need to come up with a better, more Witness-friendly phrase to use. It should preferably be a phrase that references a hidden thing that can be found if searched for, and it should be a biblical or theocratic term. Like, a "hidden treasure" (Job 3:21) or a "pearl" as in the pearl of high value (Matt 13:46), or "teraphim" like the idols Rebekah hid from her father (Genesis 31:34). Ok, maybe not that last one...

I just stopped by to say, I enjoyed meeting Otto again. Fun little easter egg (we need to come up with a pure language version of that) from All Things New. Speaking of Otto, in my play through, I collected the two wheels, the pedal, the seat, and the frame of the bicycle by the time I visited Otto and he gave me the schematic. From what I saw of the schematic, it appeared as if the UI was designed to be filled in as I collected the parts? But since I had them all at the start, I am not sure about that. Suffice to say, I feel like I got all the parts (unless I need two pedals), but Otto is not offering to build my bike. Is that because the bike is not available in the demo, or am I missing a piece, or did the fact that I collected the parts before receiving the schematics cause a bug? Anyway, great demo, I look forward to the final product, keep up the great work! Agape, Jim. P.S. We seriously need a pure language version of "easter egg"!

Don't Forget Your Cutlery! In one run, I didn't pick up the Fork and Knife, and the game wouldn't trigger the A Simple Camp task. I cleared away the garbage, but the game was still expecting me to satisfy some condition before I could pitch the tent. As you can see in the picture, the firepit is not highlighted as would be expected. I was able to repeat the issue at least two more times. In one instance, I wasn't able to pitch the tent even after retrieving the Fork and Knife sometime between days five and seven.
