- Love the unfolding story, even in a short format. It was like playing an actual short story. Good writing! Gameplay felt tight, a few little movement hitches that felt odd (ledge sensitivity was very high to me), but overall super refined.
- I need to buy a few more caldrons to let yall cook! My experience (though relatively short) was fun in every aspect of playing. The controls are easy to follow; I ended up using one hand while trying to figure things out, keeping me engaged the whole time. The art is fantastically put together from the characters, environment and items/objects. The music/sounds are crafted and put together very nicely as well, I was quite immersed while playing as a result. And even having a story where the themes tied in to this was the icing on the cake for me. Being able to use an actual shadow to traverse between rooms was a nice touch; it made me feel more confident in accomplishing and checking things out before doing so with the 'physical' character, and the use of alchemy--where you could combine items together to make things you needed, along with the story having its secrets you want to uncover (also getting to read journal entries), ugh so good! I enjoyed this more than I though, even though it was already catching my eye. Very nicely done!
