Sorry, I thought I included the picture. This is where I got stuck. I'm not 100% sure exactly where I came in from since I wasn't expecting it to happen.

Really neat game.
I've gotten pretty far, but I still haven't figured out the cat eyes, are they automatic? Because while I've tried all kinds of keys and nothing seems to change, but I also thought that the game said they used spirit power, and that never happens when I'm in the dark.
Also on the east end outside the forest, I wound up finding a path that let me into it, but I got stuck somewhere in the trees. I couldn't wiggle or hack my way in or out of it. Not a big deal since I had just saved earlier, but it might be a problem for others.
Keep up the good work!

Am I missing something, or is there a bug? I generated a master-key, and then it doesn't work on anything I can access, and I can't do anything else, except grab an item for a computer I don't have the code for.

MOAR puzzles!
I love this game.
Also, please put a "Congratulations! You're Done." or some kind of return to menu button when you've finished them all.
Thank you!

No problem, glad you got 'em on your own.
Yes, I am also asking for hints, please.

Green Room- Think about what a meteor makes, what is about to be worn?
Purple Room- This is a toughie; what is the sun/ what is it doing?
Red Room-  What is the rock on? How would you describe that door?
Orange Room- That's not a duck. Where is the 'duck'?
Yellow Room- What kind of tree is it? The right pic is a common phrase.

Any hints on:
-purple room upper left,
-red room upper left?

Pixel hunt is where the clickable area of something is very small or difficult to find. It's a good thing the cursor changes to let you know what part of something can be clicked.

Pleeeeeeeease yes, mac version.

Interesting game, not finished yet, but it's VERY pixel hunt-ish. I think especially when I have an item, I have to literally be careful what pixel I'm on when clicking. Thank goodness for the cursor change.

Yeah, I got the same issue as proughphile and Catlovermeow. Chromium-based browser.

Took a little longer than I was expecting, but I figured out what I was missing.

Power of posting, heed my call!
Don't know how to light the candles in order. I've tried the only 2 orders I can think of, and also got the lighthouses involved for a third try. I've tried the 2 orders about a dozen times to make sure I didn't screw up the order.

This is a pretty nice game, especially the music. It hits pretty hard. Any chance of a soundtrack?

Same thing with the controls menu.

So does a cursed item simply mean a random/chaotic item? Because while my cursed stick broke, a cursed apple gave me extra energy.

Am I supposed to get the scepter before I lock myself in the snake chamber?

It's possible I guess, but I've seen it in sci-fi books or modern fantasy. Not exactly common in those either, if I'm being honest.

Why would an ozone odor be a tell? It's a distinct unusual smell that a demon might have. Not much weirder than a brimstone smell for an otherworldly creature.

I think it even fixed the multiple branches from the bush trick. I wasn't sure if that was a bug or not, but I guess it was. 👍

Got the cord, got the stone, got a sextant!

There's some kind of bug with the scale in the sailor room. I try to use it with things, but it says "I do not have "Angle scale" with me." even though it's in my inventory. I look at the wheel and it says there's still a (circular) scale, but says it doesn't exist when I try to interact with it. I think I'm softlocked.

Nice game! I'm usually not too good at text games, but after I died a few times, I got 8/7 the first time I finished the game! Not sure if it's a typo, but I'm not familiar with stone archways 'limped with wind-scarred hieroglyphs'. Did you maybe mean dimpled?

The images are very pretty, but I'd recommend you make copies of them that are either lower in resolution, or higher compression. I don't think I've ever seen images before in a modern game that load like it was the 90's. You've got some pics at 3500x3500 or 25mb displayed in the space of a couple inches.

Not sure what changed, but it works for me now.

Uh, at the end there's credits for music and audio design; was there supposed to be music? Because I didn't hear any sounds at all, and I have no audio issues with other game(boy ROM)s on itch.

I know I'm majorly late to the party, but:
A) This game is fantastic.
B) I am very much stuck on the last (?) puzzle. It's the room with 2 boulders, 2 statues, and a platform that goes all the way around a central island if you let it. I can't even get far enough to prove if my 'solutions' will work or not. I put my faith now in the power of posting.

Well, I guess that's not 100% true, you also have to make sure that Terminal stays running while you play.

It looks like there's a little gap somewhere in the Mac version; if I open the game's package contents and double-click on the Contents/MacOS/Syrup2, it opens no issues, but double-clicking on the game container itself does nothing.

Yeah, that was what I initially meant, but I played it some more and realized that it automatically chooses the appropriate tool for the object you're interacting with. That's pretty cool.  There are so many items (not a bad thing) that it's a bit difficult to keep track of them when you start playing, but the high item limit, the extra storage, and ability to combine separate item groups is great. It would be cool to max out a group when you've got more than 99 total between the groups, but it's not necessary. Example 80 Carrots + 30 Carrots = 99 Carrots and 11 Carrots.

The only actual issue I have is I didn't know the torches were purely decorative, and so when I took them into a dungeon, it kinda messed up and partially locked up the game until I went back out of the dungeon and placed the torch somewhere else.

It might take a minute or two to load.

I love this game! So much so that I forgot it was still in development, and was very disappointed when it cut short. XD

However, there is one issue that bothered me, the inventory system. Overall, it's not bad, but might I suggest inventory areas or something that you could dedicate to a specific item? The 'in-hand' inventory kept changing a lot as I used it and when enemies or something else required attention quickly, it was a scramble to find an item  and equip it. I'm not sure how much of a pain it would be programming-wise, but I think being able to devote some slots to tools, some to food/restorative items, and then the rest for whatever would be very helpful. Or possibly by keys, since you already have a system in place for other actions. A quick-access pop-up for specific items would be fantastic.

If you'd read, you'd know you can't do anything, the hunt for the sigil isn't complete yet.

See above.

The problem isn't being on web, (at least not for me) the problem is you got a tiny bit ahead of the puzzle. Make sure to be flexible and bounce back like rubber.

Mac version simply gives error "The application “Game” can’t be opened."

Yup, there's a title button. I guess I just didn't notice that it wasn't normally there.

I'm confused, should something happen after a pink screen? I get text that I assume is the end of a storyline, and some arrows that I click on, but nothing happens after that. I have to restart to do anything.
