  • This hits the nostalgia button for me. reminds me of some 2D games I played as a kid. art work is great, and I like the gameplay loop. What I would do different is maybe change the level design a bit so that there are maybe a few more rooms, and more "furniture" to make it more interesting.

Cool game, interactions are not so intuitive (like you can use some stuff only in human form, and some only as shadow form, and there is no way to just drop ingredients, but you can swap them with ingredients on the floor), but when you understand how it becomes interesting

Thanks for playing, I was never happy with the interactions and I really should have explained it better in game. But for not being able to drop ingredients that's intentional.
