Oh that definitely sounds like a bug that locked you out of the resolution, sorry about that! Glad to hear the minigame was entertaining though.
Since you got right to the end and it bugged: The point is the boy was feeling isolated so the frog wanted him to reach out to the people around him to make stronger connections to help with those feelings. The frog also suggests he made new connections today and to come back tomorrow. You return to the house after and there's a scene where it's implied his dad is home and the kid shares feelings about being forced to move away and feels better.
