  • The game capured theme wery well love the horror nerratives, great exacution! Fun game with looping machanics. In the future I can see more added mechanich, maybe limit on items, need for restocking or a cooldow for it to be delivered, so that it would force plaed to manage reccaurses in a more clever way. Over all game is very smooth and I can't wait for more if you decide continiu development!

Tell us about your game!
You are alone in the woods away from eyes of uninitiated. Working on your alchemy. But there is a problem you are terified of darkness. So you need to craft potions and then throw them on fire to keep it from fading out with goal of keeping enough light to silence your fears. Pick up ingredients, grind them and distill into potions. With a goal of finding the most volatile essence the world has ever seen.
Easy mode removes all fear manifestations.

Extra Notes
I wasnt sure if I should join as my previous tries in game james failed. But you and your comunity made me see that purpose for all of this is to learn. This is first project that I ever finished and I am so happy how this little potato game turned out. I learned and improved a lot and I would like to continue to work on this project more to get it in a stage where I will be happy with it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I think you captured the mood perfectly.. I got  this feeling of dread looking out into the dark woods past the camp as the light dimmed. It would be great to have some ui elements and visual aids when making the potions, because I was a bit confused at first. But overall great start, I hope you continue this! :)

Thanks for a feedback. Yeah that was the kind of mood I was going for. UI definitely needs more work it's one of the things that this game jam helped me to understand that I need to better communicate with a player what is possible and what they can do.

Love the stylised look of this game, the game itself has a nice cozy feel, and I appreciate the easy mode as well which allows for a less stressful experience. The goal is simple yet challenging enough to keep you moving.

I will say it would cool to have some type of recipe system to better know what can be mixed with what, although I may have missed that if it is in the game.

Great job overall, would love to see how far you take this game in the future!
