Had a good time with this one but couldn't bring myself to finish it off due to the very long final stretch of gameplay that wasn't adding any new mechanics to a very short list that had already gotten a little stale.

Love the visuals and aesthetics. Loved how this is the first game on Playdate I feel like has taken full advantage of every single feature of the little handheld (I haven't had to tilt the console literally once for any other game woah) and I thought everything about it was pretty fun.

One major complaint I'd give is just variety. Potion making comes down to about 4 minigames, and you repeat those minigames a lot. One of the minigames in particular involved watching an unskippable 20-30 second cutscene that did not change every single time. A very nicely animated cutscene but one I really started getting impatient having to repeat.

I think this is still one of the better season games I've played so far.
