• I think for my time spent playing your game, I found the way the themes were implemented to be interesting. For shadow, I thought of 'elemental effects' when it came to finding the proper solution per customer you encounter. For alchemy, 'combination' seemed to stand out as the way it as incorporated, due to the way the controls worked when crafting. I'd also say the artistic approach to this game was done very nicely. The animations are really good, and so was the music I briefly heard in the menu (with the option to adjust, a nice touch). With the controls or overall playability, while reading is not an issue by any means, I think the only issue I encountered during my playtime was figuring out what kind of potion needed to be made depending on the customer I had at the time. Not sure if I was just misunderstanding how to go about things, but I'd like to maybe see if any 'adjustments' could be made to this system so it made more sense on when/if they are necessary for whatever customer you come across. Overall, nicely done stuff, so keep up the good work.
• The art and world you've built is pretty good. I really like the setting that yo chose and how you incorporated the alchemy theme into the game mechanics. It's unique and interesting. I was, unfortunately, unable to immerse myself into the game as I was greeted by walls of text with a lot of information that muddled figuring out how to actually play the game. When examining the patients I barely understood what I needed to do or how to make any sort of remedy for them. Even going back to the manual did not help at all as I had to weed through too much to even find hints of what to do. I would show the player how to play the game and how things work. Give descriptions of the ingredients that you are using and how they might interact with one another. I am all for lore and story, but it should not interfere with playing the game itself. Strip the story away and show the player how to play the game, then add it back in to compliment the world you are creating.
