What is confirmed

The Steam description introduces a rescued dog that accompanies the player. Signal #5, published September 22, puts the companion in focus. Neither source is a complete numeric reference for commands, carrying limits or hidden bonuses.

Keep a companion field log

Use the tracker to note the commands and behaviours you actually observe, what you have assigned to the dog and anything that needs a second check. These are device-local notes, not claims about every player’s game.

What we are still checking

Feeding requirements, precise command controls, multiplayer ownership and recovery from pathfinding problems need current-build confirmation. A playtest complaint is not enough to label an Early Access bug.
