Thank you so much, especially because you say you've played more than one ^_^ Sorry to hear you are having issues, can you tell me which device you were on? I will take a look at adding that option for anyone who can't get past it as well, just in case. I'll update here when I've implemented it.

No worries! I have uploaded a patch for Android devices that is 3.0.2. It adds a button for you. I have not patched the web version, mostly because that barely even works on PC so it is not really recommended for mobile. (Known issue with the Ren'Py software and hasn't been fixed that I am aware of.) Let me know if it still won't work :)
