Nice game! Good environment and I liked the Pumpkin mechanics. Just not sure if I missed something with my bad ending xD Great job!
Thank you so much for playing!
I really appreciate your feedback.
You had to use the poison potion on the cauldron in order to kill the witch and get the good ending.
The combination for the trunk was all about counting the letters in the words marked in red. So for example “Cheese” = 6, but 6th is also = 6.
The game is meant to be a short little Halloween themed experience, but I actually do have plans for extra content.
It actually was my original plan to release it on Steam two weeks ago, but unfortunately they won't allow me to publish the game until the 7th, so I had to use itch as a platform. I should have prepared it better, because I started working on this game more than one year ago.
There is currently no information about the village nor the protagonist, but I want to be careful not to drown everything in notes only, since it can be a chore for some players to read a big bunch of documents. So I have to come up with some other ideas on how to bring out that information.
I actually played with the idea of letting the player gather the ingredients and then brew the poison on their own, but I had to make an alchemy-bench model or something similar in order to make it look appropriate. The truth is, that I didn’t have the time before Halloween came around. I might wanna add that as a feature later though.
I also wanna add some sort of cinematic or something at the beginning & the end of the game, but it takes a little additional time to make.
I’m glad to hear that you liked the game.
Cheers
