I always enjoy playing your games in these jams, this is no exception! Fantastic execution all around, the art, the sound, everything tied together to make some really creepy vibes. I was not a very good assistant during my first run and I paired dearly for it, but I nailed it the second time and now I'm seeing things I've never dreamed of. Really cool entry, congrats to both of you!
Your comment really made our day- thank you so much!!!
Super short, super spooky, and super well done! This game was really challenging, I ended up acting out the procedures in real life to make sure I wouldn't forget during the real thing lol. The whispering at the end of every brew was really ominous and added a lot to the atmosphere. Great job keeping the game in scope and making a polished, finished product!
Thank you so much!!!
Nice and short spooky game! It was an interesting take on the concept of following a recipe. The art for the different objects was nice, and I like the unique interaction each object had. I found it nice that even though you could make mistakes, you weren't punished, and I even prefer the story when you lost. Sound effects were nice. I had trouble continuing the game after read the instructions as I couldn't figure out where the button was in relation to the cursor.
Great presentation! All of the potion making actions I felt were very well handled, I enjoyed ringing the bell and knocking and using the pestle.
The game I thought was a little easy, I got a perfect run first try. I think maybe having ingredients that were more similar to trip the player up (like an eye of dog next to an eye of newt, or a bat's wing next to a bat's tail) for not being careful enough, or maybe a time limit on how long you have to memorize the book would have gone a ways towards the challenge.
It's also kind of a shame that winning or losing doesn't really make any difference it feels. The levels go on as normal and the ending looks functionally the same. I think it would have been cool if losing your body parts had a gameplay consequence, like maybe missing a bone makes your hand wobble so it's harder to grab things or something along those lines.
Overall though I think you cultivated a great atmosphere and the mechanisms were all very well implemented, nice work!
The vibe and art was great! I loved the hand movement with the controls. Overall a very cool take on the witches brew idea!
Loved the art and sound, the atmosphere was so good
I love a memory game, spooky vibes paid off too! A couple of times the cursor didn't seem super accurate to where I was clicking, but that's a nit-pick - good job :)
Love this game but I just know I have a reeeaaallly bad memory. Good job!
This game was great! Super creepy atmosphere and a nice and simple gameplay loop that was enjoyable til the end. I should not have played this at 1am though 😭
We’re so glad that you liked it! Thank you!
very cool concept and impressive graphics, keep on!
Loved the ingredients memorization idea! Overall very cool game with a dark atmosphere, thank you for making it :))
Thank YOU for playing it! :)
This game is awesome! Loved it.
Thank you!!!
Wow, what a creepy game! Played with the lights off and headphones in and I felt uneasy the whole time. Very easy controls to learn, loved the sound effects and potion memorization loop. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much!!! We put a lot of effort into the sound effects, and I’m so happy it paid off for someone :)

Wow! Thank you so much!!!!
Great game! I enjoyed the concept of memorizing how to do things.
Thank you!!!
This is so spooky! I like it!
Thank you so much!
Wow, really impressive! It has a really eerie atmosphere. The last one was too many steps for me, but I definitely was immersed in the game.
Thank you!!!!
I love the concept and the atmosphere, but the controls/interactions are quite frustrating.
