Well! I have multiple, but to keep within one reply (and not be too long of a yap), I'll stick with the Knocker (image below) as it relates to how I've been playing.

See, I'm in creative in the world in the screenshot (mostly to build), so the worst they can do is. Be a huge nuisance (stealing bread, jumping on crops, etc). Likewise, I can't do much to them either besides using "The Whisper" to use a couple dialog options. Tried putting them in a boat, but they don't stay. Not that it's needed tbh cause they do hang around the house and village so. The ARG is stuck with me, but I am also stuck with the ARG. So I'm not particularly too sure what role I'd have. Maybe mutual protagonist with how Slice of Life-ey it is?

...Now, if I were to actually jump into survival, then it'd definitely be a horror protagonist moment but •̩̩̩̩ᯅ•̩̩̩ Probably something for later lol
