This is awesome! Such a cool concept, and as someone who fell in love with Witch hat Atelier recently, this game speaks to me! I wish the drawing mechanics were more precise, and that there were more of them, but it's a gamejam game, what can you expect! I love the enemy designs, and the atmosphere running away and them appearing actually scared me a bit.

Ministrelli's Cardboard CircusFound you through your videos on Godot multiplayer only to find out you were participating in this jam too!
Awesome game. Love seeing some more 3D entries. I really enjoyed the book mechanic.
Two things:
[1] Was the second spell broken? I couldn’t figure out what it did or how to get it to work. The other two spells worked fine
[2] I beat the game and chose to Embrace the Ritual. I do feel like I cheated though because my health was negative when facing the boss. I assume the health check was == 0 instead of <= 0? lol
At any rate. Fantastic game, thank you for you videos on YouTube, and can’t wait to see what else you make!

T-MinusLove the visuals and the idea of making a spell book of fidget toys to play with.

Down (Bad) for the CountAll my bros embrace the ritual. If you burned the book you're A LIAR AND A HEATHEN AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT.
Great game, would love to see more from this idea. I love the dungeon crawling with more immersive activities, I can picture unlocking new pages to the book as you probe deeper into this world.
Really good job!

Flame BearerLoved the casting mechanic, took me a minute to figure out the second page, but that was really wicked.
Big fan of the art too, crisp and stylized. Great work!

ATMOs Delivery Co.Wow this is one of the best games i've seen here so far!
I really liked the graphics and the way you have to flip pages to cast spells!
One thing i would change is to make the timer more a part of the game, and not just a separate timer, like maybe casting spells can add time, etc.
Really well done regardless.
