  • I enjoy the art style, music and general vibe. Very on point to bring about a witchy feel for the game. The cat was a nice touch. The customers were each unique and had good story to them. The alchemy aspect was unique and clever. The game could benefit from some kind of hints system, but other than that I have not a lot of tips to improve for you. A chill puzzle game that a player could get lost puzzling out. GG!

Very cute, cozy game with creative shadow puzzles. I got stumped on 5 and 6, also it has a tendency to crash after many clicks. Not sure if it's just me though.

We loved it ! Such a great idea, well done ! This is such a simple yet efficient concept, even if some puzzles were kinda hard. Would've love to see some hint system to unstuck ourselves. Also, a nice story and  touching cast of characters,  (NUMBER 3 YOU ARE NOT CUTE ahaha loved him)

Congrats on finishing the jam and great job !
