I don't like to read in games, but the engine of this game renders the text as part of the page, so a TTS has read for me. I have almost finished the potion but then i got `d20 line 17: invalid return; gosub has not yet been called` in my knee and tried it again and got `d20 line 41: invalid return; gosub has not yet been called`. After a few attempts, I have managed to get to the potion mixing. The alchemist must have some sort of amnesia because he kept interrupting me by searching his pouch of seeds like 5 times in a row. Eventually I have finished the potion and make the owner drink it. Overall, the most irritating thing was the bugs and the fact you have to choose the same choices over and over again to succeed. I just felt like I was trying to cheat on a test instead of playing a game.

Yeah, I was struggling some with those bugs! I feel you, in test playing the RNG got annoying sometimes, I wanted to change the balance but I ran out of time to settle on what to do about it; sometimes the RNG wouldn't stop the player at any point, letting them sail through the game uninterrupted, at other times it stopped them over and over in a row. A learning experience for my next game, I guess! Anyway, sorry to hear it wasn't your taste, but thank you for your input.
