I had a little bit of trouble actually crafting anything. I would try and follow the instructions, but the results weren't really coming through. I'd put mushrooms in the cauldron, but the drink wouldn't be colored and wouldn't change my stats. I'd put two iron bars and a hilt on the anvil and hit it with a hammer, but nothing really happened.
And then the game crashed.
Unfortunate, since the visual style of the game was extremely appealing and it had a lot of charm to it. I'll probably try it again later, but for now I had to skip out. Sorry!
