Pretty precious game and atmosphere. Definitely picking up on the animal crossing vibes. Collecting stuff felt plenty enjoyable and I liked interacting with everyone and stealing the mushrooms from the elves. Revealing the side effects after using the potions was funny each time.
I was thoroughly confused the first time opening the cauldron, even with the instructions on the game page. The process of lighting the match is a neat idea but it felt so foreign being the only time the game really required mouse input. It seemed like there was no way out of the cauldron other than completing a potion, suddenly making me feel very trapped.
As some others said, inventory screen would be a welcome addition. I found that having to skip all the '...' of the main character to get me a little frustrated with the otherwise lighthearted dialog. Also, it seems I can't give the piper guy his flute back :(
