I appreciate that you are trying to tackle an important message with this game. I actually somehow had never heard of the 988 hotline before (or if I had, I couldn't remember), so I think for players in the US, this could be helpful information.
I also had the same issues that @pecheny mentioned below. I didn't realize at first that I had to press [enter] to continue to the next bit of intro text, and then, when I did think to try that, nothing happened, so for a while I thought maybe that wasn't what I needed to do. Then it worked when I hit [enter] again. And, yeah, hitting enter twice in a row can crash the game.
I know that maybe you ran out of time and couldn't put some things in there, but I would recommend having more instructions and find ways to telegraph what the player can do. If you want more information about this, I would recommend checking out the concept of "affordances" in game design.
I think you have the core of an adventure game setup that you can now use for future games. I hope you keep going with it!
