I love this take on the alchemy games. It gives you more of a story, and has a goal for making things. Love it.
The only thing I could suggest is adding a skip button for the conversations. And perhaps some sort of hint. Having the guy say "there is no replacement for my flowers" doesn't help me find the path to making flowers.
