It is a really cute game, I love the music and art, but I started on the route of "Make the rash cream with the dog ghost" I got the dog tears, then my next task was to collect all the ingredients and talk to the Boofina. The problem I have now is that I have collected all of the ingredients but Boofina seems to want me to both have all the items in my inventory and have an empty hand so I'm not showing her the items. I tried everything else, not chopping and grinding the mushrooms and herbs before talking to her, putting everything in the pot before talking to her, lighting the pot before talking to her, there isn't anything else I can do. It is impossible for me to be both holding all five items and talk to her with an empty hand. Meaning unless I take the other route I am sort of soft locked.
Hi! You don't need to have an empty hand. In fact, you NEED to be holding an item to start the next cutscene. Holding any one of the ingredients in your hands, while having the rest of the ingredients in your inventory, will start the next cutscene. Are you certain you have all the correct ingredients? Don't put anything in the pot before starting, she asks you not to start without her.
If you're still having issues triggering the next scene after double-checking all your items, can you email me a screenshot of your inventory with all the items and a second screenshot of the text Boofina is saying after showing her all those ingredients? My email is ohunico.contact@gmail.com! The only time people had trouble triggering that scene during testing was because of incorrect items in their inventory. Be especially mindful that you're holding a chopped RED mushroom, and not just a chopped mushroom - that was a common mistake!
