Well you could expand the house as well as add the possibility of recruiting some creatures to have a second hit during the fights,
And use the faun's magic to do those "princess things" like asking for help to the animals that you have "captivated".
Also make the telescope serve directly to search for key objects that are not part of the equipment.
Also add the option to run away or surrender to gain more scenes.
In addition to more information with the calendar such as what is the day of the game over, you could also add events at home such as the arrival of a merchant to "service" to get discounts,
Abductions by other creatures.
Other things I suggest
I would give it a more guard look, you know like the faun's house from the chronicles of narnia or hobbit burrow type face to give them better use in the future.
