The slowest part of this game is putting the potions guidebook into a spreadsheet for quick reference XD That and not accidentally making hot pot out of a slow stew of a potion at the last moment and accidentally screwing it up 😅
The art is lovely! The mechanics are not a drag, there is actual danger of failing but not so much or so little that the game becomes unpleasant or boring. The fact that every decision has to be “intentionally made” (can’t just hold down “accept” and advance) means it’s much harder to accidentally screw up. Hands-down the best back-end not-glamorous feature. This game would be appreciably less enjoyable without it.
Edit: I keep watching that “last updated” information field because this is an enjoyable little game.
