1. You're using standard backgrounds, sprites, and even the heroine's name. It's best not to do that. Look for new backgrounds and sprites; itchio has plenty of them (for example, I make free character sprites, check my page). Everyone has seen the sprites from your game, and they make the game feel cheap and crude. It's best to avoid this.
2. Create a background for the main menu. It creates the player's first impression. If it's a standard gray background, it's boring; it's better to use an image.
3. The plot is unclear. Why am I asked for some code at the beginning? Who is the main character, and who is his girlfriend? I understand the idea of the game—you need to gather code from the endings, but the player has no motivation to do so because they're not immersed in the game world. Tell the story of the characters, show a few scenes, make the player empathize with them—then they'll be motivated to explore and learn about your game.
I understand this is your first project. It requires a lot of work, but the idea has potential. Don't give up, develop your skills, and you're sure to succeed!
