Hi! Thank you so much for the comment and for pointing out the courtyard reveal. I'll have to go check and see if there's anything to be done about that :)
The blocked office cannot be entered! You just get to peek in there.
As for a sequel, I hadn't planned on it, but I had originally written a different iteration of Rosaria's first mission that never made it to a real playable version. If there's interest, I could definitely see about finishing and adapting that one!
If you'd like to mention and link my game, I would appreciate it! If you'd like as well, I wouldn't mind sharing a link in the description of Asphodel Academy as something similar to play afterwards :)
The courtyard can probably be fixed with a boolean that changes the passage after the first visit.
Book-publishing industry in my country is silly, to put it nicely, so I turned towards foreign lands, and found a good small press yesterday. Their next submission window opens on an unknown date after 2022 ends. I'll be spending most of my free time until then writing a novel.
I refuse to cancel the game, however, and it will definitely come out one day. When it does, I'll send you a link so you can include it, just don't expect anything any time soon as progress will be very slow.
