Loved the character design of the witch! Game was fun but wasn't too sure what the end goal was.
I did encounter one bug where sometimes when I loaded into a zone my potions got thrown from the bottom of the screen instead of from the character.

- The art style is done quite nicely, along with the designs of the characters. In regards to the controls, I personally found collecting the herbs to sometimes not work when going to pick them up. When using potions to attack the enemy slime, it seems to only go in a direction that is closest to where the slime was -- I could just be wrong about that, and my experience was weird maybe. But overall, I would love to see this expanded upon, so that the "shadow" part of the theme would make a little more sense to me with the story that you had in mind.

Use F to interact with things, try using it on whatever you can! It was a story that is incomplete, originally it was meant to be about a shadowy character who improves their alchemy by using darker and darker methods, engaging in shadier activities. We bit off a bit more than we could chew, so its missing a few things, one of them being sound. Left click right click and shift will all do different attacks, e will heal. Not everything is available from the start.
