How does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme because there are 3 different count downs. It counts down the days until you have to pay back your loan from the Magfia, there is a count down in each day to try and make as much money as possible, and a countdown to add stress to making your potions to make sure it doesn't explode.

(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used

Love the story behind this game. I'm not super good at this type of game, but the depth of the alchemy system was really cool, which I enjoyed a lot. Good work!

I enjoy "study a fake thing" games, so I adored your system of potions making--I found looking up the ingredients in the book to decipher the hag's horrible storage system delightfully immersive. There were some bugs (the one you noted, but also the sound didn't work at all for me and the tutorial got stuck in a couple places), and I would have liked smoother stirring and some kind of visual feedback that the potions I'd picked up off the shelf were going onto my bench, but I can definitely see your vision here. I think with more art and polish this could be a fantastic game and I hope you do keep working on it! :)

Just to make sure everyone's aware, there's a bug where you can't add ingredients to the right side of the cauldron, only the left. Just make sure you see the potion color change and hear the dropping sound and everything should be alright.
