Summary0001547: Need more info if the players try to use the serum at night in Ms. Okita's route.
DescriptionSee attachment.

In Ms. Okita's route, when she asks the main character to drug the principal, the players are missing informations.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Progress in Ms. Okita's route until she asks the main character to drug the principal.
2. Wait for the evening.
3. Go on the school first floor.
4. You get a reminder that she drinks coffee in the afternoon.
5. Enter the teachers' lounge.

Issue:
• You don't have any message.
• The coffe machine is interactable.
• Nothing happens if you click on the coffee machine.
• Players don't have any info on what to do.

Solution:
• We should have a message when we enter the teachers' lounge in the evening/late night during this step (i.e. "I should put the serum inside the coffee in the morning.")
• Or we could have this message if we interact with the coffee machine in the evening/late night.

This step can only be done in the morning. But, in order to compare, we have three messages if we try to complete it in the afternoon: when entering the second floor, when entering the teachers'lounge, when clicking on the coffee machine. See my second attachment.

My bad: please read "first floor" where I wrote "second floor". Thank you!

Summary of the different current steps according to the time of day:
In the morning:
When entering 1st floor: message -> Entering teachers' lounge: no message -> Clicking on the machine: cutscene
In the afternoon:
When entering 1st floor: message -> Entering teachers' lounge: message -> Clicking on the machine: message
In the evening/late night:
When entering 1st floor: message -> Entering teachers' lounge: no message -> Clicking on the machine: no message

As a fan of the Sierra games, I've learn than an interactive object or background should have a goal — give a message, a hint or execute another specific action. So, I'm not really fond of the coffee machine which doesn't do anything when we click on it in the evening/late night. Same with the teachers' chairs in their respective offices.

Also, if I recommended locking the lockers at night because they contain too many quest items and it would be hell to program every interactions with them, I'm not doing the same recommendation with the teachers' lounge. This location is minor and has only one item so far (two with the microwave).
