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.

Thank you very much for the comment and feedback, it's super appreciated!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the game 😊

Yeah, I'm really sorry if that step was a bit too obscure, I struggled to figure out how to hint at it without outright spoiling the puzzle... I'm hoping to eventually implement a deeper hint system, but sadly I haven't had the time yet. For now I'll try uploading a simple walkthrough to the different endings, just in case it could help people get unstuck if/when they need it!
