Thank you for making this beautiful study companion!
I've been really enjoying my time with Aya so far, together with an impeccable music selection and gorgeous pixel art that makes for an immersive and atmospheric study room experience. I also appreciate that it's more lightweight compared to other study companion games which tend to slow my computer down with 3D graphics, to the point where they actually distract me from being productive!
However, can I ask whether the gifts will affect her mood/relationship? I noticed that she gives a questioning reaction after certain gifts like the corn candy are given, which makes me wonder whether there is a likes/dislikes mechanic here like Stardew Valley where gifts can affect her relationship with the player.
I also have a suggestion: an option to turn off or adjust the volume for the ambient sound. Sometimes I leave the application open in the background during online classes with the sound off so I can hear the lecturer more clearly (especially when it's raining in-game since the raining sound effect is quite loud), but this causes me to miss dialogue from Aya since I can't hear her "voice" asking me if I'm still working, forcing me to reopen the application when it closes itself. It would be nice to be able to turn off the ambient sound like the music so that I can have a quieter experience while still being able to hear Aya's "voice" when she needs my attention.
