Summoning Guidebook is a puzzle game where you have to figure out the recipe of each summonable object and creature. A guiding book will assist you by displaying how each item you tribute during the ritual changes the summoning's direction.

Learning how each item affects the ritual will help you figure out the correct tribute combinations/recipes, and allow you to summon the grand prize!

Notes: based on personal experience from playtesting it last day (didn't have much time left), and also from feedback, I understand that a certain part of the game is a bit grindier than I wanted it to be, and also that the usage of the knife is quite janky. I'm extending this game to a full game (will start from a blank project to make the code more maintainable), and these are issues I've already figured out solutions to, along with other QoL changes. Thank you everyone for the feedback, it really helped me realize how much that certain part of the game can be discouraging for the player!
