Overall a solid concept that was pretty well executed! The one frustrating bit for me was that shadows occasionally would seemingly appear out of place, such as in the final puzzle where the blinds seemed to cast their shadow across the entire room. I could imagine that the Master liked his privacy while he worked and moved his furniture around before he ascended, but it felt strange in the moment and forced me to spend quite a bit of time repositioning the light.

Besides that and audio being sorely missed, it was a solid experience that seemed to accomplish what it wanted to do. Great job!

Really cool use of the theme! Kind of reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077's braindance. Good job!

Really really clever mechanics and theme interpretation, wow, such a cool and unique game! Fun to play, not easy, different from the others, I could see this launching as a game.

Really clever mechanics and even more clever puzzles ! Reminds me of Return of the Obra Dinn with how you're looking at moments from the past to solve puzzles. It really immerses you into solving each puzzle with rewinding the shadows and moving the light around. Like others have said, i really wished there was sound in the game as it would've really enhanced the experience (not that it isn't great already). I think music and sfx that sound mysterious and whimsical would fit the game, though i don't have any example in mind right now.

One issue i had was with the display scaling. My screen is too small to cover the entire viewport in the game page and the fullscreen button doesn't scale the display to my screen's size. This can be resolved by using the fullscreen button from Unity instead of Itch since Itch's fullscreen button doesn't rescale Unity games for some reason.

The shadow mechanic was super cool here. This is a really interesting puzzle game that had me sitting for a bit lol. The puzzles are interesting in that each puzzle isn't the same. 

One issue I had was that the mouse would snap randomly to a position. Making had to look around at times. I would definitely love to see some music complement the visuals in this game!

Really cool game!

This mechanic is very clever and just begging to be part of a full release game. The game looks and feels great, and I'm surprised to see it only took 7 days! Not sure if a glitch but I didn't hear any sound. The game was still impressive without it though!

I really enjoyed the puzzle concept with the adjustable light + shadows. great work for only having 7 days!

Great implementation of the themes. Really well done honestly. I am very impressed with the concept and how you executed it. It was nice solving these shadow based puzzles. Some sound would have been great to have included but I know how it goes. Thanks for sharing!

I like the prototype however there was some hitches and stuttering when getting close to objects it gives a description for and the screen size is a little bit too large for itch.io page on a 1920x1080 monitor.

Really well executed! I really enjoy that there is this narrative/cinematic element to the game that's actually a core game mechanic. I could see this sort of thing being part of a larger game, using it to investigate, or learn secrets, etc. I wonder what going forward or backward through time would be like with a time-slider? Would that feel like cheating if someone could speed through everything really fast to just the part they need?  Anyhow, awesome game over all. Great work for 7 days. You've got a follow from me!

Wow this was really creative and it really tested my memory! I imagine the phantom shadow effect could have possibly been easy to pull off, so great work. Very nice ending as well. Thematically spot on.

Super cool mechanic well implemented!  Messing with the timer, the object positions and the lights was a lot to handle but I really enjoyed solving the puzzles.  Fantastic job!

Wow, such a cool mechanic and really well implemented! The 3D modelling is great and the mechanic works really well - great interpretation of the theme and a really unique way of using shadows!

If I could wish for one minor change it would be a way to skip the stopwatch back to the beginning instantly - of course I could try to figure out the puzzles partially in reverse, but that's too much for my brain to bother with unfortunately! So a way to just play from the beginning would be great instead of waiting for the rewind. But I love how it shows how much longer is left on the timer (took me a moment to notice that so perhaps it could be bigger or coloured a little differently?) and that you can speed up and slow it down - many people wouldn't have taken the time to implement that as part of the mechanic, but it really helps with the player experience!

I also think a splash of colour here and there (more than what's already there) would be useful - I kept losing the potion bottles so if they had some colour it might've been easier to keep track, though maybe that would've made the puzzle more confusing... not sure!

Just finished! I thought it was well executed and intuitive enough to pick up pretty easily. I wouldve like some sound effects, idk if there were any but i didnt hear anything. The general design of the puzzles was very cool however once you understand what to do it just becomes following a set of instructions, which is more tedious then exciting or thought provoking. I will give credit for the first and second puzzle, the first obviously introducing the mechanic and the second adding the ability to move the light around, so the puzzle was expanded on. I dont think the 3rd puzzle added anything new so as soon as i saw the potions i knew what i had to do and there was no catch or revelation moment. I think it would have been a good opportunity for an "assumption", I assumed i knew what i had to do cause of the first puzzle but there was no catch that subverted that so it just became a set of instructions. 

Overall I do really like the idea of following clues hidden in the shadows and I think this could be expanded on to make a really interesting full game! Great work

I really like this idea and the art is great. I really struggled with the controls. The contextual controls are very picky about what can be done when and I spent more time fiddling with that than I did watching the alchemist. It was also kind of hard to tell what the alchemist was doing sometimes. But I love this theme interpretation, I think this is really clever.

a beautiful looking concept!

Awesome style and cool puzzles. Didn't get to spend much time on it but I really enjoyed it. I don't have much critical feedback since I could only spend a bit on it, maybe a bit of SFX or music could help though. Well done!

Awesome mechanic, I really enjoyed it. But the game seriously lacks sounds( 
You can use something like https://freesound.org/ to find SFX for your game.

Super neat concept.  Clever use of the theme into your game!
