First off, I used this to try out Twitch streaming and even with no viewers (and one spammer) it took a lot of the joy out of the game because I suddenly felt like I had an obligation not to fuck around. Well, we’ll see if I try that again. I prefer when I’m in a mood to keep trying the fire on all the puzzles.
Also pleased to report that fire was, again, a solution.
So I found the witch’s house (only the witch is a demon dude?) and after setting fire to him, in my charming way, I took a moment to reflect on the surroundings of his lovely cabin in the woods.

IT DOES INDEED APPEAR TO BE A DECAPITATED HEAD JUST KIND OF CHILLING THERE. It is not interactable and Auntie has absolutely nothing to say about it.
As Luisa was forced into a crystal ball, I chuckled fondly. “Oh Luisa,” I thought, “you just can’t stay out of trouble!”
Meanwhile, finally got an update on her husband. He has been lost in Siberia. I assume he’s in a dungeon again.
Still unable to use any weapon I acquire on the horrible living puppet and there was a second one with moving eyes that kept following me… thankfully it was just a puzzle and I’m safe now but that’s gonna haunt me.
As a final update, I realized I could open up the map and click wherever I wanted to go without having to manually navigate each time like I’d been doing this whole game and after a pause to consider my life choices, I shut off the game and decided to go to bed.
