I enjoyed this, but my enjoyment was hampered by several serious flaws in the game:

• More serious bugs than I want to list here.  It feels like this game was never fully tested.
• The time limit is just annoying, and discourages experimentation.  Good thing I can turn it off.  Better would be to turn it off by default, and only enable it in New Game +.  Or at least make it more generous.
• It's entirely possible to run out of materials later in the game.  It's not really possible to recover from this, so you have to start the game over from the beginning.
• There is no way to predict what golems I can get from combining elements, short of trying them out, which means there's no way to predict ahead of time if a combination is going to get past all of the villager immunities.  This means lots of trial-and-error gameplay.  That in itself wouldn't be too bad, but each attempt requires skipping over the same visual novel section.  Retrying after failure should be quicker and easier.
