encountered the phone bug, continuing despite it (also, what is with the person(?) in class that gives copies of the phone?)
would suggest giving the phone a shortcut to access, as going into menu > items > key items, is a bit cumbersome after doing it 10+ times. but only after the phone bug is sorted.
game with potential, but really needs some more... hmm "filler" content for those moments when their is nothing to do in-game, as without access to phone due to bug cant skip time wherever you are, weekends especially, which leaves the player to either watch the tv or play games to advance time. some suggestions : fishing, as I noticed a dock on far side of other farm, maybe raise a horse for racing? swimming maybe, could tie that to character stats and allow him to buff up a bit (could make a new event with brad the bully?)
overall, good game, but needs more content to make it great.
