Thanks for the feedback. A lot of the things you bring up here will be resolved over development. The gameplay in there right now is representative of summer, which is the first 90 days, but will change with each season.
Buying food + alcohol, etc one at a time forever would be awful. But its fine at the start. With each season will be new merchants and new focus. I know you can only give feedback on what's in front of you, so it's all good - but there will be a lot of quality of life improvements added.
Things like a gallery or better scene control are good suggestions but probably some of the last things to get added. That'll show up when it comes to polishing what's in there, but I've got a lot of features + content to add first.
