Yes! incredible job once again! This was the first game I played from this jam, and I have played a lot since then, but as of right now this one is easily my most favorite!
I agree having the game be solvable from day 1 is a really cool idea. It makes the game meta in a sense because nothing in the game progresses it's all up to the player outside of the game. I'm really looking forward to what you end up implementing in the final version!!
I also just wanted to clarify in case there was confusion (which may be on my end.) The softlock stopped me from interacting with people altogether and didn't seem intentional. I was able to move around adn interact with the notes but unable to progress the day and had to restart the game (which due to the nature of the game wasn't a big deal but still hindered my progress a tad.) This may have been what you were talking about but just in case it wasn't I wanted to reclarify! I loved the Stella softlock though. That was a super nice touch.
