Love the idea of cooking eldritch horrors and then having to fight them! With more time I think this idea could work really well, but as it stands the combat is a bit too straightforward, and I didn't really understand what my purpose was once I'd filled Death's bounty. Given that there weren't actually any choices to make for the recipes it felt a bit too linear too.
Love the sprite work though, and again, really fun idea! Nice work!
