PFFTHH Thank you for playing!! I'm also someone who's eye starts twitching a little if there isn't enough stuff going on during a game www-- curse the current online short-form media and attention span reducing atmosphere...
I totally see the package collecting game's faults for sure LOL, Renpy isn't exactly built for this.. so when you're walking in a straight line, it's so easy to like... Not See Anything Happen. orz Sadly, that seems to be how the cookie crumbles. Or like, how the game engine........ defaults.
The audio at the end is definitely quieter... I had do a few stupid things in order to get the dialogue at the end to display like I wanted it to, which probably contributed to that. But not too hard to fix!
Again, thank you so much for playing! And yes, keep Lock in the box. :3c
