I'm not sure how to stop the assassination. Since every character is a grey box (at least that's what I'm seeing) there's no way I can tell who's the guy that shot the bullet the next time they come around. Even if I can figure out who they are ahead of time I don't know what I'm supposed to do to stop them as it seems the only interaction possible is talking to people.

Alas, I have not been able to stop the second attempt! (Although I understand the cause.)

One small request: It'd be nice if there were a clock, so I could consider event timing, how long it takes to travel between locations, etc. (Nothing fancy, just text at the top of the screen getting updated every second or so.)

Good luck on the final sprint! I look forward to seeing the final release!
