Amazing game! I had thought that there would be "redacted" interpretations to the theme, but I could not envision this level of execution. Everything is on point. The visuals, the control mechanics, the gameplay concept. I hesitate to write this as a nitpick, because I feel like the difficulty in solving is part of the charm, but I could not get past the stages without referring to the walkthrough.
I did try my hardest to depend only on the Help sheet, but the small scale and some kinks makes it hard to make out the clues. E.g. on the underwater level, the bottle message did not reflect the target state of the message being lost.
That said, this is really a very strong entry! Amazing work!
And also, love the meta-gaming on the itch page design. Had to "view-source" to see what magic was going on there!
