__Summoning creatures out of this world, how hard can it be?__

Well, you can find out! In this game you get an ancient book and a summoning board into your hands. The book quite vaguely hints on how to summon different creatures, so it takes wit and skill to summon them all.

__Junior summoner's guide__

Creature's type defines which shape you need to draw.
If you need items for the summoning, a figure that connects then needs to be drawn first.
The book will tell you the configuration of the items if they are required. Pay attention to the light, it reacts to your actions.

__Try to collect all of them__

That's it, have fun!!

@ryusui Thx you for the feedback. Yes perhaps not all of our decisions are the best, but we have what we have after three days of Jam. And we cant add anything to the game afterwards, thats the main rule. However, I've prepared a mini-guide for you on how to work with the book. And pay attention to the light, it reacts to your actions. And yes, the game is not linear, you need to search in the book where something has opened up.

@klemmbaustein Thank you for the feedback, it's really nice to hear. 5 dots mean a star. The sketch registration mechanic works quite correctly, it was tested on different computers. Yeah, we did indeed have some registration problems, but we managed to fix them.

Loved the creature designs. On my first playthrough I think I encountered a bug with the drawing where none of the items would "snap" onto the drawn circle, which combined with not really knowing what I was supposed to do was pretty frustrating. After a restart it started working again.
