Haha the UI was no biggie to me as it didn't take away from the gameplay itself! I did also press escape to see if there were any options as the went into the next "day" the first time, maybe it had something to do with that?
I wonder where you'd be headed if you continued working on it; is that the plan or will you be moving on focusing on the next project and/or jam? :D
And thanks for the comment! If you do decide to go back and find it rather hard, yet you want to continue the whole story, you could always access the accessibility settings from the main menu :)
