I ran into the same issue, although i couldn't really tell you how I solved it.
I ended up loading a save from before I got to that village and ended up (somehow) triggering an event that allowed me to go to another location (either the bar or lake, can't remember), but basically the first time i got there i was stuck like you describe.
I suspect the hot chocolate scene being triggered too early might do that.
Hey Man, We've actually had a crap ton of people having issues with that event... Including me every time I test the game x - x. We're trying to put a fix into place, I think currently, you have to go to the lake in the snowy area, try visiting it at every time of day. Not sure if that's exactly what you need to do, but I think it worked for me at some point. (I think there's a girl with white hair or something)
I didn't get to try out the method previously mentioned by K tof since I'm currently traveling. Anyways bro, I can't even get to the lake, I can only access 3 places, the Inside of the Inn, Outside of the Inn and in & out of the treasurer's office. That's all I can access. I've clicked on every pixel of the screen in all these locations at different time of the day but no new location appeared. I'll go back home and check the method mentioned by K tof. Thanks Bro 😊
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I clicked on the map and it went well from there on. Actually I felt quite stupid that I didn't think of thay sooner and was too focused on the words, but yeah, I think you should put a notice at the end of the conversation which mentions something like "click on the map to explore the area" or something like that. Thanks for taking the time to assist me Bro. Now I've completed the story till V 0.6.0 and eagerly awaiting for the new update. Thanks Bro.
