I came back to it today and tried again. I realized there's a bug where I could walk over the image of the woods, but did not realize I could fiddle with the machine until today. Solved it.
I got to the woods screen by walking on the first arrow on the start screen, but once I got there, I could not figure out what to do or where to go next.
I have a weird issue. In day 2 when I need to round up 10 sheep, I run out of carrots before I get the last one. I collected more than 3 sheep on the first day, so I think that is why. I'm afraid I can't finish the current day now.
