Hi! Thanks for your feedback, it's very appreciated.
Tidal Blossoms takes place in a fictional world, and the kanji in the bedroom is just a tribute to the Japanese anime and games that have helped inspire this project.
I'll look into the fading text issues. Tidal Blossoms requires a mouse to play, and clicking it while reading text will speed things up and fix the cell phone issues.
The cellphone will be more important and interactive during the full game so it is meant to stay in your view permanently.
Thanks again!
