Hello!

There are a few buttons to click on, but most of the game is controlled by hovering your mouse - hover over characters to see their stats, or hover over the action buttons to perform those actions.
Volume can be controlled by - and +.
I didn't get saves working, and if you manage to keep the Impresario happy, the game takes about 20 minutes to play. If you want to end your game earlier, you can do it by making the Impresario concerned. Some ways to do that include resting too much, trying to sing or meditate when you have no energy, or simply never doing anything.
Some people have asked me about the Kafka short story it's based on.
