absolutely love the atmosphere this game has, genuinely terrifying. But: I have died multiple times now because the deer has sat at my door for 30 seconds to a minute. either the shadow monster gets me or the deer does when I run to escape. this is a very unsatisfying death as there is nothing I can do to prevent it. if there is another update I would love it if the deer couldn't get within a specific radius of the door
One strategy is actually to quickly go outside and then immediately dart back into your house. The deer can't kill you while you're inside the house, and will just start running around rampaging for a bit until it calms down again, hopefully somewhere else. By purposely aggro-ing it, you can get the deer away from your house.
