This was fun, and well-balanced in a certain sense; I didn't quite survive the first time, but it was fairly clear from the beginning what sorts of mistakes I was supposed to be avoiding, and after realizing the conceit I was able to win without trial & error.  Maybe some of the fail states were a *bit* of a stretch, but others were pretty clever and I enjoyed it overall.

Cool little exploration of asking for what you really want. I liked the sparing but effective use of special effects (offputting typesetting for the guest, and the fade to black in some endings).

Neat story. Not spoiling, but I liked figuring out the trick to safely secure what you desire.
