- A story surrounding Nina/Christina. She’s testing whether you’re worthy enough of being her dogsitter, is having you get through dog-adjacent tasks to get through a box
- The doll house idea someone did before was really cool! Could do something with that- what are some things that already have space that we can work with? Models? Minecraft? An Advent Calendar? A birdbox!
