Hi! Thank you so much for the in-depth review and feedback! Yes, the alarm clock and windmill issues are ones we are aware of and have been actively working to fix for the next update.
Thank you for bringing the issue with the menu to our attention. This is something we will look into!
And yes, currently the story stops after fixing the windmill and waterwheel, but please stay tuned for our next update which will expand the puzzles/interactions in Act 2, as well as bring in Act 3 where our story ends!
Thank you again for taking the time to review our game and bring these current issues to our attention. :)
