- The art style is done quite nicely, along with the designs of the characters. In regards to the controls, I personally found collecting the herbs to sometimes not work when going to pick them up. When using potions to attack the enemy slime, it seems to only go in a direction that is closest to where the slime was -- I could just be wrong about that, and my experience was weird maybe. But overall, I would love to see this expanded upon, so that the "shadow" part of the theme would make a little more sense to me with the story that you had in mind.

Use F to interact with things, try using it on whatever you can! It was a story that is incomplete, originally it was meant to be about a shadowy character who improves their alchemy by using darker and darker methods, engaging in shadier activities. We bit off a bit more than we could chew, so its missing a few things, one of them being sound. Left click right click and shift will all do different attacks, e will heal. Not everything is available from the start.

Loved the character design of the witch! Game was fun but wasn't too sure what the end goal was.
I did encounter one bug where sometimes when I loaded into a zone my potions got thrown from the bottom of the screen instead of from the character.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it!
I loved the art and character designs, I do wish there was more to do in the game, but the core mechanics are really nice.
Thanks for the feedback, I thought the artist did a fantastic job for their first game. I finished up the mechanics on the last day and had to crank out the few maps I could T_T. Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the art style :)
I wasn't really sure how to advance in the game, and I end up spam clicking the stuff in the cauldron and I think I broke all the buttons 😅
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely take a look into that😅
