Fantastic presentation, and I was intrigued by the story. I got stuck in the "but I wonder if she keeps secrets from me" spot (next to "I don't keep secrets from my beloved") and couldn't get out, which I guess has some amusing symbolism. I wondered if Esc would bring up a menu and found it softlocks/quits the game. Oops.
It'd be unfair to expect fixes to a 3 year old LD entry, so let this just be a note to future players :P
