Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Being able to place the calendar page on the hook is actually included in the newer version.
The intent with the messages on the 2 wall was that you can use the spiderwebs for storing items, and that you can directly tamper with anything that doesn't have the metal circle with spikes.
Being able to go up and down was the initial intent, but playtesting quickly revealed that this is very disorienting and unintuitive, so after some thinking I settled for going left and right in numerical order.
Glad you enjoyed yourself despite these issues!
