- Clever way to use alchemy to transform shapes and colors to solve puzzles. Shadow aspect lands a bit short. Overall good game, straight forward mechanics, very relaxing.

Story:
- A mighty alchemist wanted more power, so he rid himself from everything he thought would hold him back
- Shortly after he finds himself in a strange minimalized world
- The only escape seems to reunite with his "shadow of the past"
Mechanics:
- Exchange of object properties through "Transmutation circles"
- Objects (including the player) can be brought onto any circle
- The last two objects brought into any circle will exchange properties
- The exchanged properties are determined by the type of circle
Controls:
Keyboard:
- WASD for movement
- Holding E when at least 2 objects are in one or more circles: Start transmutation
- B resets the room (e.g. Player is stuck)
X-Box-Controller:
- Left Stick or D-Pad: Movement
- Holding X when at least 2 objects are in one or more circles: Start transmutation
- Y resets the room (e.g. Player is stuck)

Cool, well made puzzles. Minimalistic art style but it’s clean.
Thank you! :)
