Very mechanically novel (for me, at least; I guess I don't have a *ton* of experience with parsers yet). Took a while to understand the mechanic, and to realize that "self" was a valid noun, but once I got it I was able to get all three endings (though I definitely used UNDO a lot). Cute story.

I really like the way it's presented (sort of epistolary novel/found-footage but for the internet), and the overall idea and vibes are cool and unique. The relationship between player actions and outcomes felt a little strained to me, but predictable enough that I was able to play through a second time differently and get a different ending. Anticipating unsettling dreams tonight.
This was a very nice little self-contained story-puzzle-thing. I feel like the hints were pretty subtle, and yet perfectly sufficient for me to eventually figure out what was going on & what I needed to do. The idea of seeing something forbidden and deciding "I want to be that" also feels very trans, in a way, which I suspect was intended?
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.
