Played for about 10 minutes before giving up. Seems promising but I couldn't figure out what to do, I didn't play those other games this was inspired by, maybe if I had I could've figured it out. There are a lot of buttons, maybe introduce those one by one or add tooltips? During the day I was able to advance by talking to women but I couldn't figure out what to do at night. At one point got to a screen where I had to select a positive thing and a negative thing (this was not clear). Also had to resize my window to close the newspaper.
I kept wanting to to move the camera with WASD, maybe make that move the camera around or change the background so it's clear the camera isn't supposed to move.
Good luck, seems like a promising game with a little ui improvement, maybe steal it from the games you were inspired by.
