First Summon by MaxguN
You play as Oppy, a beginner witch who has yet to summon a single familiar...
Follow instructions and place objects around the summoning circle. Be creative and use clever substitutions!

Then, trace the right rune and let magic do its work!

Repeat the process until you’ve created your own, personal familiar!
There are 3 ensemble of familiar features. Play several until you get the one you want ;)

Thank you for investigating the issue, we hope you play once we publish ;)
No cats here, but I hope you still like it!
The third level is the hardest indeed, we'd like to adjust that in the future!
Here is a solution (you can put whichever feather you prefer) if you'd like to give a new try ;)

Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the 3rd, seems there was some [kind of snapping issue](https://drive.google.com/file/d/18NWKnkTwZVNoZ-UU2RKAUmnxrMjGHABO/view?usp=drive_link)?
But I had a lovely time with it nonetheless, and am flabbergasted by high quality of a product you were able to produce so quickly! Branching dialogue, dynamic layouts, extra items to add to the challenge and flesh out the world - fantastic job!
We've just done some bug fixing that should allow you to complete the game if you'd like to give a new try.
PS: Your game was beautiful.

And PS thank you, haha, I could never hope to produce art as polished as what you have here - but I appreciate the kind words ^,^
PS: come on, your designs are super cute! Even William is, and he's a flayed skull!
Congrats :clap:
I also really enjoyed the idea of creating your familiar based on the objects you choose, gives me an extra reason to replay it
good entry!
Nice and cute. Took me longer than it should have because I didn't realize the objects had to be placed on the moon symbols. A more liberal snap would have come a long way.
Great job!
