Hi! Thank you for such detailed feedback.

The number of days doesn't affect anything right now. In the future, we will tie this to other game mechanics, but there will be no penalties for "too many days" - everyone should be able to play at their own pace.
Journey mode is a big pain for us precisely because of the "difficulty curve" and progression. Therefore, we decided to replace it with a different format closer to a roguelike, which will save us from problems with the increasing power of the player between journeys. We simply do not have enough hands to develop some ambitious things, and we still need to finish the mechanics of managing the Academy.
Tom has changed several times, because of this, probably, some of the text remained from his "old" personality, and some is already written for the "new" one. Because of this, there is a feeling of a split personality. We will try to allocate time to proofread it.
Costumes for other characters will appear in Olivia's shop as soon as our artist finishes them. This will be in one of the next intermediate updates.

I'm glad that everything is already in the process of being dealt with, I didn't want to be causing any "out of left field" moments! If I come across anything else glaring I'll mention it but it's been pretty sparse pickings since then, I guess you've improved your sense of direction since the very start! To be expected I guess and I hope you are given the time to smooth things out and maybe even become a little more ambitious over time :)

Edit: Just had a hard crash, seemed to start again fine and it had saved on the screen before the screen it crashed on; I was going to sleep for two nights before confronting Lillian about her potential blackmailer after speaking with Grace, after speaking with Grace I clicked the map icon and then the bed icon in the top right and a small window came up (with Victoria's face in it?) and then the game entirely closed... I don't know what happened that I might otherwise have done (Windows 10 laptop and I'm playing the game via an itch.io app install and launching it from the app). Repeating the above actions from the save point did not repeat the problem!? (Maybe a stack issue? Inconsistent variables that got cleaned out with the restart? - This Lillian quest is the only quest I was doing at the time with no other quest lines open (as far as I know).)

The error log contains these messages:

0x00007FFC6E6F3A7E (UnityPlayer) (function-name not available)

0x00007FFC6E6F3C8B (UnityPlayer) UnityMain

So it looks like a null somewhere :/
