I'll give you a little hint if you're going to try again : don't watch the numbers. The solution in "portrayed" in front of you 😉
Anyways thank you for playing!

That's a pretty good hint, I finished the game! I think I had a bug happen with the salt, I kept looking for it in the 'right' way, and it wasn't there, but when I completely restarted and did that as the first ingrediënt, it was there. The collectibles were cool, but it's weird that you have to go to the main menu to see them. I thought I would get a message in that one room with how many I've found and how many I have to find.
I think one way to encourage 100%'ing would be to give a lantern after finding that room. Just get rid of the candles from then on and let the player find hints in peace :)
It was a really frustrating but also fun experience, the art, voice lines and music really made me want to come back this morning to finish it, so nice job.
