Shower thought: where are all the pets?
Just realized there are no animals in Martineise, and the only mention of dogs is the voices in your head telling you of dogs who are either dead, or in one case, about to be shot --there's that dead dog beneath the radiator, the cop who takes aid at a rabid dog, and the dead dog either Harry or Kim (I suppose most likely Harry) drove over on their way to the city. No one even mentions the concept of animals as pets.

Also not sure why it took me so long to realize this :p

People in Martinaise probably aren't looking too hard for another mouth to feed, and the region is just coming out of a very cold winter, so... Yeah. Sadly.

On kind of a similar note, first-time game devs probably aren't looking for more things to model and animate. The game mentions birds, we see the phasmid, you devote a lot of thought to what kind of animal you yourself would like to be. We see things through the lens of Harry. So maybe there are offscreen pets he just doesn't pay much attention to.

I feel like Harry would lose his ♥♥♥♥ with joy if he saw a dog

They ate them. :steamsalty:
Rene mentioned about how during the revolution people boiled cats to eat while they were hiding out in the mountains. So, that's where all the cats went.

Except for the one he ran over.
