Hi, thanks for getting back to me! I'll try the Steam version, although I think it would be nice to also update the version on Itch when you have the chance to!
Good to hear that you're working on a visual indicator for when scenes finish. Actually, I might wait for an update on that, at which point hopefully the input detection will be working as well. :)
I also want to add that what I did play of the game seemed really charming and heartfelt, even though I was having these issues. I'm looking forward to trying it again without the frustration.
