Absolutely STUNNING game!!! This art is insane, I'm beyond impressed. the gameplay and environment is really crisp too, I love the idea of having a table you can turn down to to work. I also had trouble with the puzzles, but I'll just have to brute force it sometime and keep notes bc seeing all the character art is so worth it

The idea and artwork are pretty neat, but I couldn't figure out some of the connections between the book's poems and the ingredients. Maybe that's me sucking at the game.

Also, it should be said that it's pretty impressive that a jam game is available in 3 languages.

Like few have stated here, the descriptions are bit too cryptic also to me, I quite like the flowery language, it fits very much the vibe, but I could not but laugh when my old fellow friend says "It's all written very clearly and is easy to understand" and I start reading absolutely not sure what any of it means and how any of it correlates to anything. But I also know it might be language barrier thing (I'm not native English speaker), so I can't fault you that much for it, some more clearer instructions or how to correlate which ingredient to which statement would have be nice. But moving aside from that old subject, everything else was great! The art was great and of course, always huge respect when in this short time you manage to get it all fit so greatly together. Writing was fun and enhanced the mood a lot, I was about to get annoyed with the old man's "voice lines", but he and his "ahems" did not overstay his welcome. Overall the sound design too was very fitting. I say it's a really nicely built together game which works very well, really the only thing right now is truly that it's difficult to learn (I do not think I got any even accidentally correct...). Great job to the team!

Even though I could not at all figure out what insence to make and died (so bad at my job that i had a heart attack lol) I'm rating this very high and will definitely try again when I have some time. 

I do want to say though that the ingredient descriptions are a little bit too hazy/cryptic... The art is gorgeous though

If I'm not mistaken, the art hints to retouched, AI-generated drawings. I'm no snoop though. The game is spooky and entertaining. The music fits nicely, and the art is very polished. This is a well-made game, and it goes with the spirit of the game jam. Well done. 

I like the sound design and the gameplay is very different to the other games on here. Like a more complex version of papers please. 

Very immersive game, I used the hand to read through the book like in real life, ah ah! Great visual!

Great presentation. Beautiful backgrounds, characters, and workspace objects. The soundscape is also rich and immersive.

I love the variety of characters, so many allusions to folklore and literature.

Trying to match all 3 ingredients to the "customer" was very difficult, even on the tutorial. The answers are somewhat abstract, and the timer interfering with your vision makes it even harder.

Really well-polished (haha), the art and gameplay were amazing. I particularly liked the transition between the workbench and the ghosts. I did find it very challenging at first so happy to hear you might be making a more accessible edition. Would love to see this turned into a longer game post-jam! :)

Ciemno wszędzie, głucho wszędzie.

Co to będzie, co to będzie?

Nice little puzzle game, I really enjoyed it! The graphics and sound design were definitely the cherry on top here. It took me a moment and a restart to figure out how to properly make mixes for each ghosts, but the restart was worth it because I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the ghosts are randomized.

Keep up the good work!

Great game, I really like the visual style, different characters, references. You've done a great job!

This was both a beautiful game and once that was enjoyable to play, not really scary per say but melancholic in a pleasant way. 

Gorgeous art and sound design! I really liked trying to figure out the combinations via the poetry as well, amazing job on this one.

I singled out some projects in this game jam with a distinctive visual style, and your game stood out among them. Well done, congratulations!

I'm far from the first to say it but wow, beautiful game! I really adore the way you move between game screens (looking down to your worktable, turning the pages of the book). The hand sprite adds so much feel to the game. 

I did struggle a bit with figuring out the combinations, but for a week-long jam this game has an insane amount of polish to it -- really well done!

Very cool game! Amazing idea and executed beautifully!!! I love the thought through character design, the sounds, the music. How nicely the book instructions and writing was done overall. (Lovely poetry I was so impressed with the effort) And how much visible effort was put into all characters. My favourite ones were Ophelia and Werter with their whole presence and really cool designs ;]]  (Ophelia was so enchanting with her voice and vibe, werter was there) I reallyyy adored the option to have a closer look at the characters and see the secret of how they died. And how some of them had absolutely nothing to hide and were the same after inspecting. That added so much character to them in my opinion and felt more considered than just having them appear as they actually were.

It was.... a little difficult to understand what I needed to do to send the ghosts away properly, but after like an hour or so I finished it with everyone saved and not angry with me. And I kinda liked that it's a bit hard? It was really fun to learn and notice the patterns and key words that the dialogue gives you. The answers weren't handed to me and I had to actually think for a moment which was cool. Felt smart after finishing it :pp I also liked how the herbs and spices were colour coded subtly to the books instructions. In general the game was very scratchy when I understood what to do. Oh and the ending was such a fun twist! 
Overall loved the experience. It's a job well done, really great work! Hope to see more in the future :]]

As an artist, I tip my hat to your team for the sheer amount and quality of this game, great job! Also, a cool game design. I am afraid I did not do  good job as a soul-sender; and perhaps some of the clues could have been less poetic and more on point, but I liked the progression and character dialogs. 

I didn't understand the book, I like the characters and graphics tough.

Love this game and its atmosphere. Very polished and thought out. I would have liked it if the mentor character was a bit more serious and less grumpy. You know like a wise old man with some more mystery to him. I like the aesthetic, the sounds, the music. Very well done!

Świetna! Super estetyka i fajne dzwięki no i pomysł :) Dalej do końca nie wiem co kiedy użyć ale w sumie o to chodzi ;)
