Nice game :D
Gives me a little bit of an Undertale vibe (i guess it#s the graphics).

Doesn't relate too well to the theme imo but besides that i liked it. Thumbs up from be ^^

I like your graphics. :) The menu is a bit hard to find buttons but the rest has relevant colors. Nice books of ingredients, I knew what I'm choosing! :)

The art is great, the itenstock felt a little intimidating at first without names but i got used to it by the third day, the text is a little too fast to read and i didn't get a lot of the sacrifices theme from it.

The game got me engaged waiting to see the next client, it was a fun experience.

Simple and fun art style, usability with menus and crafting was somewhat frustrating at start but once you got used to it, it got way more fun to do. Cool stuff!

Really nice idea! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Y2UiyhFvqPg

Cool interfaces. It seems very much like a complete package, I have no problems with it.

Liked this game a lot more than I expected. It felt really nice to make potions. The wand was a really nice touch and picking an combining the ingredients just felt natural! (after I understood how it worked)

I think there is something wrong still with the difficulty curve though. After a while I knew what all the potions were made of. Once I got past day 15 it actually became super easy. Some characters even started paying me around 20 coins per potion which meant I would never miss a ITEMSTOCK payment again (after like 3 days I had the required amount for the 15 day period) and the stack of coins just went through the top of the window... :smile: I don't actually know how much coins I had in the end... (a lot!)

I never had to brew potions like the "frog potion" of "anti-frog potion" or the "optimism potion"... I was waiting for an occasion to make them but it did not happen. I even tried giving a "frog potion" instead of a "forced romance" potion (thinking there could be a fun story there, but nothing happened).
