JRBGames so far i like this game and i think it has a lot of potential. I like the sandbox style of explore and figure stuff out
a couple of suggestions: the money part feels super grindy at the beginning, consider increasing the amount you make working
finding a place to read a book you buy should not be so difficult / obscure. perhaps make objects like empty couches and chars at home or the hotel be clickable to give more reading locations
to make the sandbox feel more alive consider having "random events" that pop up when you travel between buildings and/or when other things complete like certain of day or after finishing work and such
