Magical Diary—it has puzzles, although they’re only a small part of the game. Ellen reminded me of Less Wrong fairly quickly; I later found out that TV Tropes lists her subplot as a shout-out to Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Not quite. :P You can use your mouse wheel to scroll backwards a few frames, allowing you to “rewind” the game to a certain extent. This was nifty when I wanted to try something that I knew would prevent me from playing the subplot that I wanted to.
I played it a few months ago. It was quite fun… and, yes, there’s one big shout-out to HPMoR (more specifically, to the Bayesian Conspiracy) in interactions with Ellen.

Seconded. Also, the game has a certain amount of replay value due to the different subplots, and being able to rewind is awesome.
What, is the main character named Homura?
