How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The central story and combat mechanics revolve around Alchemy (mixing ingredients together to do magical things).
"Old Gold" is represented by alchemy itself (the pursuit of gold - the origin of the craft) and tarnished glory (both humans and alchemists are now incredibly rare)

A rather interesting game that embraces all the hallmarks of the genre's classics. It really nails the atmosphere. I even replay Golden Sun for the occasion!
Now here is an entry with a real GB-soul in it. You captured it beautifully . Loved the battle-sprites. It is clear you put love into this game.
Great lore too. You should expand this further. It has real potential. Glad i could play it. I will say, at one point i tried to run from a fight. But i failed thrice in a row, i think. Not sure if it is bad luck, a hidden stat that makes it impossible or unlikely to run, or maybe a small bug.
But the alchemy hook was pretty dang cool.
Had a lot of fun with this one! The music + art were AMAZING, making me wish I could go back and redo some of my sprites lol. Really put me back into my youth 👴great job! Only form of feedback I could bring is that I kinda rinse + repeated when I was traveling East battling, would've liked a few more chests or something BUT I recognize that wasn't exactly happening a ton in GB days, loved it!
