Thank you for making this game. The game is simply put - beautiful.
I loved the twist with the theme here. It's a brilliant take on trying to read people, from their words, body language, and expressions. As promised, here are my thoughts on the game:
- The game has a big heart behind it, and it is evident.
- It also conveys a powerful message to the players, and it's all subjective and based on the choices of the ingredients chosen.
- The visuals were amazing, and added to the lonely vibe of hell (Hell here represents the part of people's lives that they think is something that traps them, and something that happens because of them)
- I don't know but there's something "medicinal" about this game, I don't know if that's the way you should put it. It's not healing, but it feels as if you are eating a medicine, knowing that with the right ingredients, you can focus on the flavours that you like.
- From the points above, it may be obvious that I loved the emotional things that this game injects onto it's players, and I believe it is the most important thing here to be discussed.
- From a game developer perspective, I would love to hear more sound effects. The main menu UI buttons needed sounds and scale animations to make it feel good. I would love for sound effects on button clicks in the gameplay. Maybe some drink mixing sounds.
- I would also recommend adding more damage, on mixing wrong emotions. I believe the emotions that we convey, especially through words, yield heavy repercussions in the life of others. Sometimes, our words can go so deep that it can never be taken back. I would love for that in this game. There is only one life, and you can't take back time. This also makes the players understand that every action they take matters. And it is never, ever, small.
Overall, I did not expect the game to feel this way. Consider me emotionalized (I don't know if that's even a word).
Oh by the way, here is my silly game. It would mean a lot if you could play it, whenever you are free, and give me feedback. Thanks!
