I really like the art, character design, and writing!
I want to beat this so bad but I think maybe I keep getting stuck in a weird logic branch or something. I added the magic spell (+60), the mouse (+200), the fairy (-100), and the crystal (+200). That should come out to 360, but it kept telling me it was 500 at the end for some reason. I think I did mess up before then so the value could be carrying over.
Thank you so much!!
Ahh I don't want you to be stuck. There are several options and ingredient values are reset inbetween the scenes, so if there really is a problem in the code, I am sorry. 😭
Talk to the witch and she will mention she should have known that the cauldron is already heated up (+50) through the fire. That means you need to add 340+ to reach the 390°C goal.
Try the necklace (+40) instead of the (+60) item. It's in the drawer on the right side of the room. If you have used it up for the first round, try the plant (+40) next to the drawer instead. It should make you end up at 340°C with the crystal (+200), fairy(-100) and either mouse or gnome (either +200).
Adding 50°C from the heated up cauldron it's exactly 390°C.
If this is still not working then I'm so sorry 🙈 You might have to try to reset and if I made a mistake (either wrote 360°C somewhere or an item doesn't work) I need to fix this after the voting period.
I am still thankful you enjoy the art and everything!
AHHHHH I'm so glad I asked for help haha. I definitely wasn't expecting it to go in that direction but wow! What you were able to do within a week and with such a short story is pretty amazing. I found myself getting moved at the end, that crow is such a good friend. Can't wait to see what you do next! Also something I forgot to mention in my original comment was that it's really interesting to kind of have this mixed escape room and VN approach, it's something I've never really seen done before but I think it has a ton of potential.
P.S. I totally overlooked that necklace, which was what was holding me up, so thank you again for that. I do think there was still a little glitch where the cauldron's temperature would display 500 degrees when it should have been 360 given those ingredients, which threw me for a loop. On that note, it would be nice to have some kind of visual indicator of what the current temp is just for accessibility more than anything else, even if it does maybe make the challenge a little bit easier.
