Wow, you did say that 0.1.6 would have more sandbox element and you really delivered. The map is amazing and having events timed based on the time of day is a great idea. Also, I've noticed all the small changes in the text if the character has grown (e.g. Mia in the gym).
My only frustration is the "will be implemented in a future version" that's encountered here and there.
Don't know if anyone ever told you but your descriptions and scenes are among the best out there.
On "quality of life" suggestion: could you use a small map for the school or the house with all the rooms and areas? It would reduce the number of times you have to click to navigate.
Keep it up and can't wait for 0.1.7!
