Appreciate that you are here taking the feedback, the game does have potential.If the game won't let you interact with the characters then there isn't much you can do. I am trying to get a update that fixes this out as soon as I can but in the meantime I hate to say it but you may just have to wait for the update before you play the game
May I suggest maybe a map on the computer that will display character locations and show if an event is available once you trigger it?
