How does your game fit the theme?
Merchants, like vending machines, are only exist to satisfy heros' needs. The game reverses the role between hero and merchant - our game provides players an experience to become minor, unnecessary characters who repeat their duties of selling potions. Yet, when merchant's stocks don't satisfy the heros' needs, the one who can't get their specific potions may meet their demise. Now, the merchants observe, chose, and surmise, actively determine hero's fate.

Really well done on the style of the game. I found it difficult to figure out how to give the correct potion.

Love the game design! It was really satisfying when I got a regular customer ^^ I think it'd be helpful if there was something that made the characters more differentiable than just their outlines

I love the art style and the little music, it took make a little bit of time to understand the mecanics tho since there's no tutorial ingame. But anyway, great play.

The artstyle is simply great! Thought it was really funny that I killed Nora with the wrong potion

Aesthetically the game is very charming, but the gameplay is a bit too hard to figure out.

This looks like a very good game, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to play. Everyone leaves then later it says they died by a wrong potion.

Perhaps a journey to help keep track of what potion is which would be useful
