I like this style especially the moon in the sky, and the way the evil tree runs out, cool realized!!! but did not quite understand how to interact with objects as if should have given more detailed tutorials or display buttons on the screens that can be pressed for interaction

Very impressive for a 72 hour game! Great visuals and polish! I actually got scared by the sound effects which is very rare for game jam games to reach that kind of immersion. Great job!

i walked so far away from the forest that i actually walked off the edge. for small games like this put a mountain around the game area to keep ppl in. ![ld55felloffmap.png](///raw/f52/z/63d39.png)

I'd never expect the game mechanics of "try to merge two things to see what they turn into" to be used in an horror(?) game.

I only had a small issue that sometimes it was hard to click on stuff - to the point where I thought the seed cards on the plot were already planted 😅 - but once I figured it out it was fine

I liked how the monster seemed to teleport out of view when approaching from far away.

Great game! you managed to design a set of core gameplay mechanics that work supersizinglly well with the spooky atmosphere. horror survival farming sim could make for a great niche. Would however like it if each seed pack type would have different packaging, so its easier to manage.

Very clever to make it so dark: I had to turn the lights off to see anything, and then I was scared! Combining seeds is a nice simple mechanic put to good use. I did have a hard time keeping everything in order — and sometimes clicking on the right thing.
