Honestly I didn't enjoy this one at first and was struggling to keep playing it but I was told to trust the process because this one would be essential for the overall understanding and experience of the next games.
Although it seems repetitive, too much pointless clicking and it seems frustrating I advise you to be patient. Use a guide if you need. Give it a chance so you can understand the whole beauty of the Hello Charlotte series.
Im sure you will come back to this game when you finish ep3.

All endend well.
There was nothing to be sad about.
