It's possible to input a put and then narrowly avoid highlighting the put itself, but it's really hard to perform with a mouse. I just end up highlighting the put again 98 percent of the time. Is this a thing I'm supposed to do? Is there an alternate input scheme that makes more sense?
Honestly, I'd like a setting where I can turn on an input scheme where I don't have to click and drag the mouse between circles, instead I could just click each circle once in order, and click anywhere that isn't a circle to submit.
edit: oh my word I reset my save on accident and I'm getting so much extra dialogue that would have just gone "that doesn't work" previously so I dunno edit 2: it's randomly generated ok edit 3: positions 1 and 11 are generated identically but position 0 is not
One thing I want to check: In order to cast fire, is it intentional that you have to do something else first? That something else will be left ambiguous if you don't mind
I'm not sure what the "something else" you're referring to, but no, I intended fire to be amongst the first spells if not the first one you cast. Of course there's a little more to casting fire later down the road ;)
the "something else" was a PUT command, but now I realize the issue was with the order of drawing, which is really finnicky for some reason. Generally you can only draw a sigil from one starting point and going in one direction from choices. Is there a puzzling reason to this input sensitivity I haven't understood yet? I hope there is, because there's a lot of "partial sigils" where I draw a picture that's intended as a hint because it looks right, but I don't get the hint unless I draw even that sigil in the right order.
I realize I opened this and tried to look for an Easter egg, but didn't really give it a chance. After playing through it a little, I got about halfway through before getting stuck. I don't know much about this stuff, however it's cool to play around with! I'd appreciate if there was more guidance in game, though, since right now I'm just brute forcing Put with other sigils.
I got everything but sprouting fortune now. No clue what I'm supposed to do. I've tried pine+growth+abundance, but nothing happened. All my other ideas have failed too.
Thank you so much for playing the game and giving feedback! My next goal (besides adding easter eggs) is to give more hints when you draw a symbol that almost should work but doesn't. I hope that would take some of the guess work out of it!

Well that's bad. I managed to delete the altar. I have no idea how.
Spoilers below if I did this right I have no idea how itch works
I think this is a bug that I just fixed. Will post the update very soon. Thanks for playing!
Having a lot of fun with this, but I can't find any sort of clues about ingredients besides the freebie crystal. Any clues?
You are very right about that! I didn't get time to add proper clues for them yet. But I will!
I admit that I had to use inspect element to find all the shapes, but I have no clue what to do for the rituals themselves.
shh don't tell people how to cheat! jk thanks for playing. I'll work on making the puzzles more assessable!

You don't need to avoid highlighting the put itself or at least that's not the intention.
Great suggestion for the input scheme. I will try to add it! No promises when though lol. Thanks for playing the game and giving input!

I'd like to see how this grows!
After using inspect element to cheat the solution for bowl, I finally got Serenity! I didn't need any help past that first step, luckily.

I think there might be a bug lol you're def on the right track

That is so valid. I will fix it!!
