- Couldn't find the second potion to do my first brew, character moved so slowly and the map was so big. I found it was rather tedious just searching empty halls.

Movement with WASD, interaction with Spacebar.
Explore the labyrinth to find potions to use in your cauldron. Find as many as your inventory specifies.
Complete the brewing before the shadow monster gets you.
Light keeps the monster away and can be increased by brewing in the cauldron, however this steadily decreases in strength. The monster steadily picks up speed as the game goes on, making it easier for it to hunt you down.

Thank you both very much! We all enjoyed being a part of the jam and hope to come back and improve for the next one!
Good game. After trying a few times at this game, I didn't get very far, but then again I am not very good at mazes. I love the unsettling atmosphere. The walking and collision mechanics are smooth. Picking up items seems to work well enough inasmuch as they go into my inventory when I pick them up. I wasn't able to get enough ingredients to brew anything yet, but if I keep playing this, maybe I will get good enough to experience that aspect of the game. Well done.
Lovely animation and the slow movement made me feel like a mighty old wizard! Well done
