- I really loved the idea of having to explore and discover how to do the alchemy, rather than it being overly guided. This reminded me of some point and click 90s games I used to play, so in addition to having a cool art style, it brought up a lot of nostalgia. I think the pixelated words could be changed to a different font or made smaller on the initial opening of the game. The font is kind of hard to read. While the alchemy theme is well implemented, I do think the shadows theme could be implemented more in the actual game mechanics.

Very polished look and the UI was also very intuitive and easy! I think the medieval music doesn't match the modern visuals but other than that it seems great!
Yeah the music was sort of chosen arbitrarily last minute, I'll keep it in mind for next time, thanks for the feedback!
This was really good! I like how the hints of what you need to do are scattered in the rooms. It made me actually look and think about what I'm seeing. Also very polished I think - great job!
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it!
