I think the \"memory\" aspect actually played to your advantage, and made the gameplay feel more complete then if each recipe was written down for you.\n\nSmall nit: It was a bit unsatisfying at the end to \"win\" without a complete bestiary (I mean, missing creatures from prior losses).","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1035655,"author_name":"LyaMgtt","author_uid":"lyamgtt","epoch":1713209071,"text":"Great project!

I think it would feel fairer if you could farm everywhere with all creatures and then lose creatures in certain places and have to remember which creatures win in which places. But it was still really fun and the nice background music made it very relaxing to play. \nBtw, after I got a tuft of hair from the summoner, I clicked the entire room to see if there were any more ressources hidden in the room. ^^ \n\nOverall, a very nice and beautiful game!
