i finally got to finish this game!! ugh wow i love the art so much and your writing is very charming, i really enjoyed the familiar's lines. i do like the conversation in between the ingredient selection as well as the ability to change the ingredients at the end after i've chosen all of them. i think as a vn it works really well to weave the conversation + spell choices in this way. i liked almost all the characters and i thought they were pretty interesting in writing and design. i liked the peek into the world and the different species and professions.
i messed up one or two spells and went back to redo them... after the update i missed no spells and it kind of felt like the perfect difficulty. i could see maybe restricting this "check ingredient" to add a little more difficulty as i never really worried about messing up a spell.
overall really great work and an impressive game for the two week timeframe! i hope to see more games from you in the future O: !!
