I need a wiki with recipies at my desk right now! hahahaha I've managed to do a werewolf and was lucky that when the scary lady appeared, I was looking at this window. I loved it, it is very immersive and evolving. If I had a suggestion, it would be making the recipe's book more accessible, with some tips or charades to solve.
@tata thanks for a feedback! I'm glad you played my game! I took a note about recipe's book! Also, little hint, object for recipe are starting to shake when you making mistakes, in order to help you!
Commenting to make sure I come back and play, Itch.io getting slammed. :nerd: Screenshot 2024-04-16 023439.png
@usenrame heeyyyy, thanks for the hint! I'm going back to play it righ now!
Very cool ideas :D You really put a lot of effort into it! I would love to have a bit more lighting and shadow play to immerse myself even more! :DDDD
I love this hand, good game!
@fenix131113 thank you!
Combining all the ingredients to make creatures is such a vibe absolutely love the art direction too. The hints for the ingredients was a nice touch to make the game not become frustrating.
Love the game! Having them shake as a hint was very clever!
oh this is super clean. Some of the summons didnt make the MOST sense to me, but i started to get the hang of it! Pretty fun overall, just gets a bit too easy once you figure out the hint system.
NO WAY YOU MADE SUMMONNING WORDLE. I had tons of fun with this game :') I really like, that when I accidentally make another monster/creature, the game doesn't punish me, but even suprise me. Did not expect steven hawkin when making einstein :)))
@eveee-cx @yoruvii @tstapely07 @reaxt thank you so much for rating my game!
Loved the mood and all the interesting creatures you managed to put in this. The ingredients were clever and intuitive; I fumbled some in the beginning, but then managed to guess right several times in a row around the middle of the game, which felt good!
Good job, this a fun, well rounded entry!
I managed to summon Einstein on my first try! \o/
Super fun game, I had a bit of trouble understanding what to do in the beginning but the feedbacks are well done and pointed me in the right direction! I only failed to finish the very last summon with 3 chances! :)
It's very addictive ! I always find the first two ingredients but I have some difficulties to find the last.
Very entertaining and well executed! Love the animations of the summons leaving the screen while looking at the camera xDD Good job!
Nice game ! it could be a VR game where you summon your army with weird ingredients. Graphics and game feel are really good congrats !
The creative combination of ingredients and the clever hint system have added a delightful layer of strategy and surprise, making for an engaging and rewarding experience. Great job on creating such a unique and enjoyable game!
Great entry! All the sound effects were really satisfying to hear and understanding what to do was never a problem with the little hints!
Nice work. Easy to understand and all of the summons made sense so I was never left thinking "That's BS." Thanks for also adding the "Have Fun" portion at the end that lets us see alternate bad endings if we didn't get them before.
Haha! Nice game! I was dumbfounded at first, but quickly got the hang of it and in the end thought "this actually makes sense!" Overall style is great and the game is simple, but really fun! Glad I played it ^_^
I really like that all the recipes are unlocked from the beginning. I also like the wiggle hinting. Having a limited number of chances is a very good. It is a shame that *the spoilers* are only really effective once. Overall good entry!
This was cool - surprisingly addictive once you start to see the logic of the summons and so on. I loved the loop of being rewarded with a funny new 3D model once getting a successful summon.
I had some issues from time to time with dropping things in the cauldron. I feel like a bit of music (even if you just grabbed something and credited it) could have helped a little with the overall personality of the thing. But all around, great job - fun concept and executed with style.
This is such a great game!! I love the models for the summoned creatures xD
OMG , I finally sussed it after many attempts. I think I lost it and spat my coffee at the ingredients list for the final boss entity :smile:
Excellent job!
Interesting game. Some hints when you get the recipe wrong would be helpful. Well done.
@auxc @ffenril @arasander @aleal-dev @satolas @josion @kewdev @storeyware @orangedragon @blank-3d @lachlan-james @rincs @johnnysix @digital-bacon Thanks for playing my game and your feedback! Appreciate that <3
Good art, very much on theme, loved the creepy vibe. Gameplay was a bit trial and error-y for my taste, but I did enjoy seeing the character models when I was able to figure out how to summon each thing/monster/person.
Great use of the theme! Some of the recipes were really intuitive, but some were hard to figure out. Really nice work!
Heart rate = 120 would summon hawking again
spooky girl walking atmosphere was top tier
Thanks for dropping by my stream! <3
here is the vod if you want to rewatch

@ausstein thank you so much for playing my game!
@usenrame no worries :) feel free to drop by the stream anytime. Or latest next LD <3
Amazing Idea and a gamedesign!
Great game. Failing is us much fun as succeeding. Anyway, nice graphics, great sound effects and a creepy atmosphere.
What a great game! I really love how you've handled the ingredient combination mechanics when the player is lost-the elements vibrate except for the last one; only when the girl arrives does the third appear. It's a clever design choice that you can continue playing after the girl's arrival, first a flower, then a scare, etc. The game is well-rounded and the characters are very thoughtfully designed (the skeleton being made of two bone pieces and the debris). Finally, once all elements are invoked, you allow the player to experiment. I can't say much more about this game; for me, it's outstanding in every aspect—great game!
Great design and execution. The horror part is very well made as well. Did you make all the models yourself? Very impressive work for a single developer and just three days of time.
