A couple tips..
..the mailboxes in the lobby--you might want to make it clearer what they are. I got stuck early in the game because they looked like thick glass windows to me.
Tip to players (besides "those things are supposed to be mailboxes in the lobby"): useful commands are look, open, get, take, and talk. With talk, you will need to specify ("talk girl", "talk man", "talk guy").
If you keep these tips in mind and pay attention to details (both visual and text) in the game, you should do okay.
