Ive run through most of the game twice now, all of the pink apples have dissapeared at this point but its not enough for me to get all three crates filled? and no more are re-appearing. is this normal?

I feel like it has a message, but I'm not sure of what it is. Maybe it's about death? Just like the apple tree gave its fruits and died, we are also destined to death. Then, there's the ending, which I don't want to spoil. It's a very interesting game, nevertheless, but I'm a bit curious. Thoughts?...

I wonder

So... I took all the normal apples... Just 1 golden apple missing... Its the "final" one, in the treehouse... But the problem is: When you take all the normal apples, the tree that has the campfire, it's burned........... And my ladder was in that tree....... So the ladder it's burned too, and I don't have a ladder, to take the last golden apple...

every time i go on the ladder i get stuck and cant get off
