Thanks a lot for the honest feedback, I really appreciate it.
You're absolutely right about the dishwashing minigame. I actually reworked it in the latest Patreon version that came out about a week ago, and the updated demo with those improvements will be released this weekend.
The point about backing out of areas is also fair. That's something I still need to improve, so thanks for bringing it up.
As for the dreams, the intention was for them to feel like mysterious glimpses of the girls rather than actual events happening in the story. But if they come across as confusing or make it feel like you've skipped parts of the game, then I clearly need to present that idea better. I'll definitely keep that in mind going forward.
Thanks again for taking the time to write all of this. Feedback like yours genuinely helps me improve the game.
