@ambear That's strange. To interract with an object (ex: interract with the sink) you have to hold another object that can interract with it (ex : the pot). Also it require to be precise as the center dot is quite small and you have to aim through the object you are holding.
Or it might be a bug :)

The mouse view is very unstable... most of the game I got some funny articles (that's how good a potion wizard I am). Nice narrative idea, anyway. And quite a rack).

Cool game and art style!

I can't fugure out what potion I'm brewing. I got samples, it's pink. How can get the info what is pink colored?

PS cool virtual modular system you build for soundtrack, love it

@fear-games Thanks! The games was designed as a mix between an escape game and a die-and-retry. You have to explore and figure out what you can do and what to do, most things are logical. But i still agree with you the game isn't very clear.

@st00nsa When you put the samples on the sample-support, you can put ingredient (the little jars) in it. The effect (smoke / fire / color change) help you determine what is in the potion. ex: if you put some salt in the sample tube and the potion turns green, The panel with the ingredient indicates you that there is eyes in the potion.

In my opinion the mouse movement was too sensitive. Other than that, well done!!

@ache-games we tried a lot of new things for this jam so we missed some parts but yes agreed, we could've add a sensitivity slider pretty easly tbh

Wow that was a lot of fun! I had some difficulty understanding the game at first but once I got the hang of how to take samples and do experiments I started to feel like a real mad scientist. Some more tips on how to disarm each potion after figuring out which one it is would be great. I could consistently identify the potion within 3 samples but then struggled to do anything but to pour it down the drain or to just hide it under the bed and hope for the best :D
Also the tune rocks!

It is a fency game concept but i felt a lack of guidance. There should be a tutorial or smth like that. Without it very difficult to understand what to do and how. Nice submission anyway! Good job
