Wow I ADORE this!! This seriously looks so cute and I love this concept so much! I think it is possible to extend Ren'Py quite a bit--there's a lot of VNs with minigames like this one, but I think either engine is fine depending. Can't wait to see more of this!

Yeah totally! Just wanted to add that the "py" in Ren'Py stands for python--so most things you can do in python can be done in Ren'Py as well, which makes it very flexible on top of its built-in dialogue script. The screen system it has took me a bit to get used to but it has built in UI and options like drag and drop that make some things pretty straightforward.
