Nice work on this game! The concept is fun, the art style is great, the potion book and potion-making are great, and the night/day cycle is a great touch. The opening position of the witch was also very funny :). I played this one for a while and really wanted to play it to completion, but I struggled to make progress. I came back and played a second time, but again I couldn't make progress. I completed the first potion (for sleep), and was able to create the second one (for the boy) only because I saw the potion book in the preview image -- it wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise to create the first potion again and offer it to someone else. After that, I tried many different potions to try to create the tea, using chestnut, glowing mushroom, and a different flower for each attempt, but I just ended up with a shelf full of "???", and I wasn't sure if that kind of trial-and-error was how this game worked. I actually really like the idea of a game that leaves you to experiment, but I wasn't sure if that's actually what was intended so I felt a little adrift. I hope that's helpful feedback! I left this game with a positive feeling and wishing I could keep going!

Thank you for the nice comments and feedback! The idea was that you would go around and talk to the other people who would then give you hints about what to add to all the different potions, and with some trial-and-error figure out who needs what. It seems that this could've been explained more clearly how the system works exactly so we'll keep all of this in mind for the future. Thanks again :)
