# Room 04: Ogre's Cottage

This is the exterior of a large, thatched-roof cottage in the forest. The cottage belongs to the ogre and ogress, dangerous antagonists that may appear and chase the player. The room features a door that leads inside (Room 49), windows, and various interactive objects. Players must be cautious as either the ogress or ogre can appear and capture them if caught.
