I took a long hiatus from Itch but I'm back! XD Since this was an early scratch game a lot of it is noodle code I can't polish; however I'll help where I can:
Try lighter mouse presses if the game is skipping dialogue. It may be registering as a double click if you hold down
the mouse button for too long.
Telling where the navigation arrows are takes trail and error: the bar to the west has an exit at the top of the spiral staircase (the light pink doorway).
If I revisit this project I'll definitely tweak some art assets to better guide the player. I appreciate you playing!
