Thank you for your kind words and feedback, it's greatly appreciated.
I agree.
The game certainly feel very aimless currently. I have considered a quest book like addition but always come back to my dislike for immersion breaking systems.
My currently planned solution to this is a combination of assistance from the doll, some sort of hint page provided by the doll that is always accessible in the top right of the screen, and a more organic asking for advice system. I.e. asking the ambient characters how they think you should be spending your time.
For example, Freya may suggest that she is free to hang out in the evening or that spending some time at the library during the day may be a good option.
Thank you again for your feedback and I hope you will be able to see it come to fruition in time.
