Made in 72 hours in Godot 4. Also my first solo entry to a game jam! Hope you enjoy playing it. If the HTML embed doesn't work, try the itch link (I tried following the embedding guide but it still seems broken shrug).

But idea is good and i liked that.
EDIT: After checking some more comments I understood what was going on. Great game!
What I could imagine to developo this idea further is to give the player different choices. Like he could choose to summon one or the other in order to progress through his own story. This idea would also be great for communities to write their own summoning scripts and puzzles.
Good job and thanks for playing our game!
I summoned motivation!

@sn4pi thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D Yeah for sure, I think branching paths and more involved puzzles could be really fun, and I like the idea of doing a better-developed, less vibes-based version of this story

Very clever theme interpretation! Was a bit frustrated at the start (because english is not my first language), but with trial and error I managed to complete the game. Liked the art a lot and enjoyed the puzzles, despite that it was a bit hard in some places. Great job!
Overwall is a great entry, polished and refreshing ! (Just for the music like @17-confused-villains said, it's way too short and become annoying quite fast, I know you put a volume button but it's not really the same since it's still better to play with with sound than with nothing IMO). Anyway, great job !
But once I realized how to play, it felt nice!
Really great art, music is a little redundant, but really fits the mood, indeed!
