I totally agree, I was struggling on time and I could only get the quit function working. I know there is a way to reload the scene, but I use a visual scripting plugin, so sometimes I have less options/resources.
I'm not sure if I would do the hints...The point is to make the player uneasy about what will anger the Dad, but it probably feels unfair with the game quitting each time. I'm leaving thing mostly untouched in the spirit of the Jam, but if there is interest afterwards I'll try to make an update.
Thanks so much for the feedback and for playing!!
