Nice job on the puzzles and the overall concept. I had a good time once I figured out what I was meant to be doing. Unfortunately, I gave up about 30 min in, since I felt like I had explored every area but was still missing one element.

- The game is interesting puzzles are difficult enough to be interesting and keep players interested in a game play loop. Guidance on the mechanic where implemented very well. Art is very smooth and suiting. Alchemy theme was implemented very well. It was a bit lacking on shadow part as it didn't really affected game play. Game is really fun and I hope to see more story and content in the future! Game is really fun and I hope to see more story and content in the future!
