Very fun puzzle game with engaging dialogue!

Hearing the hero’s story from the perspective of his bag was more interesting than I admittedly thought it would be, and the puzzles were just the right mix of challenging and fair. Carrying out the correct solution as the timer ticked down always felt very satisfying.

Fantastic job! I very much enjoyed this game.

I like the art and the puzzle is difficult enough to be engaging

Very well written! Challenging when I keep getting distracted by the dialog. The potion scene was quite funny. Here's my proof of playthrough but I won't post the text. New players should see it for themselves :D

The puzzle mechanic was fun, and combined with the presentation it was a joy to play.

It came together so nicely! :D
