  • It is very interesting concept and the mix you come up with from your inspirations and it definitely have the unique taste that you added! Mixing mechanics are fun with dark undertone in the story. Theme was implemented really good. Unfortunately, I encounter few bugs that made game play pretty difficult where you can't properly put glass or a bottle down on the shelf or on the counter it resorts into clicking it many times. as well if you place one of the ingredients in front of the clients you are not able to pick it up again. And a bit of an improvement tips: Text could be on players phase, by that- it could switch by click. Colours in the glass while mixing were a bit difficult to tell a part, so maybe adding a labels that show up would be great. There could be an option to empty out glass There could also be a menu to pause or restart a game. I am waiting to see where this game will go with development. Good luck!
  • The idea of your game sounds pretty fun and like the theme was implemented well. Unfortunately, I encountered a few bugs that made it so I couldn't actually play your game. When I tried to give the wrong bottle in the tutorial, it wouldn't let me pick up anything else after that. And when I pressed escape to tab out, I couldn't move my mouse in the game anymore when returning. You might need to test your game a bit more to get rid of the bugs because it looks like this game might have quite the potential :) You still did a good job, the atmosphere seems very on theme and good, the way the game starts I really liked and mixing potions is always fun! Well done!

I clicked the power button and the game didn't start :(

Super well made game, I really like the spooky vibes it has, reminds me of an encrypted type of art style, except you can walk!

I had a little trouble with passing potions in the dark at first but  we managed hahaha
