Initiating a Dialogue

Clicking on an active object triggers a dialogue. The scene zooms in to the active object, and a dialogue window appears. Above, clicking on the door has initiated a dialogue asking the player whether they wish to enter the door. The player can answer yes, triggering movement to another scene (presumably inside the building), or no, which will have no effect.

Here, the player talks with John Brown by clicking on him. John asks the player about the money they owe him. The player can respond in any of three ways, each of which will advance the plot differently.
