Really neat, I enjoyed playing through it!

The art is very nice and I enjoyed the use of color too.

After playing through, I loaded it up again and saw that there was a coffee shop to the right (I totally missed this the first time). After that I went through and explored all of the options.

In the case of missing the coffee shop, I was wondering how it could be communicated if a wall is truly a dead end or an entrance to the next scene. I noticed the nice rounded edges on the border of the rooms, maybe the walls that lead to other rooms are a straight corner and the dead ends are rounded off?
Also, I didn't realize the first time playing through that I could exit the main part of the library and return to where I started. The second time I realized that I needed to walk down to exit, but the first time I saw the space for the door there, I assumed it was a shadow of the door on the other wall that leads to your friend that you can study with. Maybe an offset of these too doors would help that?
Lastly, I thought it would be cool to check the time mid game, whether it's always accessible via a pause menu or you need to unlock it (perhaps by spending an hour shopping?).

Overall, really neat game! I love seeing games with a lot of personality and character to them :)

thank you for playing! 

You can check the time with the clock outside the main hall doors.

I think after the jam voting is done I’m going to update the game with more dialogue to communicate that you can check the clock and that there is a cafe to the furthest right.

That's what I figured but I guess it was bugged for me:
One my second playthrough I spent my first hour in the coffee shop talking about the concert and when I exited, it looked like it said 5pm. However, after going on the computer and reading manga, it was still at 5pm I think?

Oh okay, I’ll take a look and see if there is an issue. Thanks!

If it helps, I was able to replicate it with the following sequence:
> Listen to music with Elmwood
> Play Feeding Frenzy
> Read manga with Cypress

I checked the clock between all of these events and it seemed to remain unchanged.

Also: I figured that "Samurai Dog Boy" was made up for the bit, and then after playing I literally saw a trailer at the theaters for a samurai dog movie. I'm assuming that this is coincidence and that the manga bit wasn't referencing this, but I thought it was pretty funny.

It’s a coincidence. It’s actually a reference to Inuyasha, one of my favorite animes.

Ah gotcha, I see that's fitting with the time period. I never read Inuyasha personally but I'm a big fan of Takahashi's Maison Ikkuou. One of my favorites for sure!
