I've played it too and it works fine... Except that it freezes every time i'm doing requests from the board (actually only when I have the item and i'm giving it to the requester... or at least trying to. It happens right after the requester says something when i've clicked Yes for "Talk about the request")

When it freezes it seems to go automatically to pause, no matter what I do. It doesn't help when I "unpause it".
