The art is so good, well done !!
I read in the letter from the start "after CONSUMING the elders", and thought 'That's quite dark ^^'", but that was not what was written ^^
Very cute art.
The keywords were helpful, but almost too much since i was only looking for them when making potions, and i fear that most players will. Could be nice to find a way to help the player without making it too tempting to just look for words.
I really appreciate that the key words are in bright red for the illiterate to read (me). Also damn do I love the witch's cabin , she lives in an apple how cute which contrasts well with the quiet gruesome weird illnesses these villages are going through.
wonderful art and writing! the text on the ingredients is a little hard to read, but other than that it was a very cozy and fun game.
After reviewing Wayward Moon at yesterday's jam meeting, we have concluded that having an epic gamer in our midst is not conducive to a polite society. However, there will be another jam next year, so I'm sure we'll have need of your services again. ✌️
Love the artwork, very cozy game.
Narrative was great, I loved reading through the letters and ingredients list. Very short and sweet. Would love a way to give the wrong potions to villagers, see how that affects them
I also worked on a potion brewing game for this jam so it was really cool to see a different interpretation of the theme also have that mechanic. I adored the narrative. Reading the letters and ingredient descriptions was a lot of fun. It made me laugh. The art style was delightful. Reminded me of the children's books I used to read as a kid. Very cozy game. Wonderful job!
Cute narrative and artwork! I'm wondering: is there a way to know if we did the potions right or not?
SO SO SO DELIGHTFUL! The writing is fantastic, the look of it fits the vibe, and that ENDING! Wow. Great job!
Man this game can be expanded to include some more days, it was a pleasant experience! I knew what to do and the art was simply charming. It's sad what happens at the end of the story, but the letters were fun to read through and while I consulted the book a lot, it was a handy tool to have!! So good experiernce all around!! Just wish there was more to play!!
Featured in today's live stream!
I really enjoyed playing through and reading all of the letters. I liked how there was a thoughtful mix of telling the player what to brew and what ingredients and having them figure it out for themself. It was done very nicely, I was very engaged into figuring out how to fulfill the request. The vibes were very fun, the unique and witty ingredient/potion names did a good job at grabbing my attention. My only gripe with the game is the UI, it just didn't feel immersive. Maybe if you were in a room with the ingredients scatted across shelves, it would feel more lived in. But in the end of the day, its just a jam game. Very impressive and entertaining :D
really well made game. the art style is adorable, the story is great, and fishing through the book makes you feel like a potion crafting expert! I really enjoyed the mechanic of researching ailments and finding just the right, disgusting, remedy.
Well made, I really liked the art.
A fun puzzle game, I love the narrative and the writing. The puzzle aspect was pitched just right. I produced some sludge a few times but I liked that it still let me continue on. The art is super cute and I love the style!
nice job
Chill and relaxing game coupled with cute art and a good narrative! The not-so-subtle humour is great, namely the obviously non-magic book and the cute (• u •) faces at every possible opportunity which are very appreciated. Also the house is a double-decker apple. Since when did exile look so comfy?
Very relaxing, and pretty fun to find different combinations and figure out which thing you need based on the clues in the note. I found myself constantly reopening the journal, and I would've liked if the ingredients had tooltips pop up to describe their effects instead, but the art is super cute and the text is really charming, so I didn't mind too much.
I really enjoyed looking through the journal at all the items. The hairy slugs were so cute, but they had to die for the greater good I know
Played till the end! Congratulations to the team, this is very good and cozy. (I love that you colored the main ingredients effects because many people may not want to read all the text many times, that's a smart design chioce)
