Absolutely loving the visual style and there is a surprising amount of content there. Although I tend to like inventory based puzzles a bit more than an almost purely conversation based game, I have to say the story is compelling and would love to see it continue (including finding out whether we'll have a way to read the darn book 😆).
If you do release an update or expansion, please make it so that the dialogue doesn't move on to the next textbox until clicked, especially as there is no way to re-read them as the dialogue options are not longer available after playing once. I'm a pretty fast reader and I still missed a few things because I was distracted or just taking a sip of my drink.
Quick note, and one that I see often with this engine: you might want to disable the jumping when pressing the spacebar. It seems out of place 😉
