NOTE: unfinished, read below for guide
This game had some bumps in development so not everything is as intuitive as it should be. Below is a guide to help you experience this game:
Controls (Forest):
- Movement : W,A,S,D
- Pick up an item: Spacebar
Basic loop:
- You start each day drawing a tarot card, this affects some mechanics, you will hear an audio queue whenever they happen. Click the little card at the top left to preview it.
- Time passes through your day, during the day you have 3 customers, click on them to get their requests and drag a potion from your inventory into their request bar. As a novice alchemist you already prepared somewhat for your first day with a few potions and ingredients, but you can get more of both!
- The Alchemy Room: You can go here to brew potions to your liking, there is a book you can click on that teaches you everything you need to know about alchemy!
- The Forest: A dangerous place to get lost in, the forest has some dark aura surrounding it, making it impossible to see, thankfully you have a magic lantern that lights your way, but even so the later the night, the more its power is drained and eventually you'll be blinded, so don't stay there too long! But this risk comes with great rewards! The forest is abundant with valuable resources that you'll need to craft potions, press spacebar to pick them up when standing near.
- Sleeping: Even an alchemist needs sleep, when you go to sleep the day starts a new, a new tarot card determines your day! New customers come seeking more grand potions, and your sanity dwindles increasing your many risks.

List of bugs:
-Won't get you sleep if you don't accept/forget to accept any customers, but then your game is stuck.
-Forest glitch (It won't let you make potions because I think I glitched it again.)
Thank you for trying it out! Sorry about the janky experience but was a treat to watch you play it (As much as it hurt seeing all the glitches).
You're very entertaining to watch so Ill most likely be watching you from time to time!
