Fun little puzzle game. Quite liked the continously expanding area, and the potion-making mechanics, but it feels like it should have been locked to single player. Playing it with its max of four actually took away from the experience cuz I didn't know whats going on for a lot of the puzzles and I didn't get to interact with the potion brewing mechanic much. Also none of the puzzles were very difficult. It does win points for presentation, though. The game is gorgeous and creative. I also wish the ending had more leadup rather than a tacked on moral dilemma that felt mid. Would have been more interesting to see those questions asked throughout the game rather than all at once at the end, maybe tied to different endings ala silent hill.
