Oh man! The artwork in this is gorgeous! I'm getting some serious Papers Please vibes from that gate going up and down. I like the idea that you have to sort of figure out what these guys want. Some of these guys don't seem to picky. I keep going bankrupt, but I can see getting the hang of it with more replays. Maybe grannie or somebody could slip the player some recipes or there could be some sort of in game hint system. Overall, this is really well made!

- Killed the rabbit with poison by accident and had no way of resurrecting. It would be nice if it came back to life, so I could test out more ingredients. The gameplay is fun and engaging, love the papers please feel of it and the music fits really well. The art is very cutesy. Ingredient tooltips should update if you use them to make a potion, just to tell you some of the properties, so you could keep an eye on what you use. All in all, really well done! Keep up the good work!

Strategy survival rogue-like where you have to run a potion shop with ingredients that you don't know anything about! Alchemy is about creation, and shadow is seen as obscurity and mystery. Creating things is scary when you don't know how things work . . . but you can do it!
