An adorable li’l quest of sorts! I really liked the aesthetics of the character, but it definitely felt like there was a mismatch between assets (characters, interface, items, backgrounds). I’m not sure how typical that is for Point & Click games, and it does give it the feel of an old kid’s PBS morning cartoon, but it still feels jarring from a gameplay perspective. I would’ve loved to see the whole game with a unified aesthetic.
As for the gameplay, it was mostly straightforward (which is not a problem as it really hits the cozy dynamic). I think having more books, or having to flip between pages would help, but for a jam game that feels so cozy, it’s very cohesive in terms of gameplay.
I would really like to see an episodic take to this, again similar to a kid’s PBS morning cartoon, as I could really see the li’l witch going to school, gardening, or just helping out the neighbors with her brews and potions! Would even give a reason for the bookshelf to have more interactable books as the game went on. She could even have one of those “pocket sized” encyclopedias to have access to items when on the go.
