We added a small note at the beginning above the "About the Game" section explaining that the game is a simple, linear visual novel. Some people have complained that it "isn't a game" due to its nature and we hope that clarifies exactly what it is. Sorry if this created any misunderstanding.
... We also have an issue with the game being wonky on Newgrounds' HTML player. This is an engine limitation that there doesn't seem to be a way to fix. But please don't worry--we're dumping the engine after this game.
