Well, I was interested to try out other ren'py games that were entered, and I was kind of surprised by how much choice there is. It feels more like an old point and click adventure games.
I found it easy to get confused, though. I started just clicking through options, like examining everything, trying to interact with everything, and eventually grabbing stuff from the closet basically on accident.
After the father got home the first night, I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do; trying to sleep didn't have any feedback. so I explored more, found the kitchen drawers were unusable, and went to the office. It felt like there was some kind of time-passage mechanic, as I noticed that doing certain actions would brighten the scene, as if the sun was rising? specifically when I was in the office rummaging around. At the same time, though, it seems you have to investigate things multiple times to progress?
Also, I was able to crash it. Got this error while randomly clicking around,didn't cook anything the first day, then fumbled around at night, finally got into the kitchen and tried the cooking minigame(?) and failed then this happened.
