This is so good! I hope it gets expanded after the jam because I will definitely play. The art is so cute and the concept of merging a decorating game with a dialogue rich story is very good, especially when the decorating actually effects the dialogue.
With some music and more UI design this would feel super polished. I also agree that giving a button to fully load in text would be great (I also personally prefer to advance text with the spacebar vs clicking whenever possible)
