This is a super amazing game already. Although I struggled to know how to craft items, I went outside and explored some lovely game background art, especially with the shadows and alchemy items. The audio and music are incredibly soothing to listen to. I love the floating texts whenever I talked to the NPCs. The sprite art is lovely too. I haven't even touched on this yet but the clock system is perfect, changing the days based on the time. I was shocked at first to see the time change from night to day in a heartbeat, it was beautiful to see. I personally wouldn't be surprised if this game will win this entire jam because I know that this game would be top 5. Simply amazing, all-around work by the entire team here!

- This game looks great but I unfortunately had to rate it low playability because I couldn't figure out much how to play and check out all the mechanics in the judging time I had! The art is gorgeous and there seems to be lots of polish to the effects. More work on the UI and new player experience and this could be a great game!

Extra Notes
Obviously we didn't get everything we wanted in, just yet. Faced a couple delays with some team members, but all in all we're pretty proud of how it turned out thus far!
