Hi! I absolutely am addicted to this game and storytelling. It's not my usual type of game but I ended up having a lot of fun for some reason ;w;

If I can give a suggestion, I do wish that I could preview past Daily Spell articles while I'm doing the current headline. I got so lost during the Convention because I completely forgot people's names ;w;. I think it would make it easier (and lean into the whole puzzle-solving portion!) if there was a way to preview older/previous articles

You can! It doesn’t clear the current puzzle if you change to a previous day, go to the archive, etc. (The clock does keep running - pausing it is on my todo list.) 

I wonder how I can make that clear..? I don’t want people to feel frustrated thinking they can’t see previous articles. I’ll at least add a note to How to Play.

Oh I didn't know that! I think adding a note on the How to Play would help a lot. I think the words "preview archive" instead of "archive" would make the player understand they won't lose their progress, but I can see how that also looks really cluttered ;w;. If you want, you can also add in a small note on the bottom that says "Forgot a name? Click the archive!" or something along those lines, since there's a lot of free space at the bottom

Hm, yeah. Added a note to How to Play and I'll think about other options. It's the kind of thing where once you know it, you don't need a reminder every time. Probably a more active tutorialization of the first couple puzzles could help, since it could point that out in context, but that's a larger change. Or making a clearer pause state, which you could use to go check out other puzzles... I'll keep pondering. Thanks for the feedback!

Probably! Like a Level 0. It would be really cool if the How To was formatted the same way the other Daily Spell articles are. That way it kind of encourages the player to think "hm, if I can see the tutorial article without messing up my progress, maybe I can do the same for actual articles?" (Especially if they're the type to skim the How To Play stuff on most games lmao.) 

Ooh, very interesting idea, will think about that too!
