I'm also stuck. I'm on Day 3, am just waiting for the next popup to pop up. I tried skipping forward but nothing; restarted just in case, but that also did nothing, I'm still stuck waiting for messages that aren't coming through.
Screenshot for posterity. I would be happy to send savegame data if need be.
I'm about to start over because this game is too good to just stop playing here 馃槄馃槶
