- “I love the gameplay, the graphics look amazing.”
- “The gameplay is great and the graphics are too!”

Also, please make a mechanic that allows the player to rub them or feed them, and please add coats and gas masks in. There are those few people that would like it, and maybe put in more emotes.”
