Instead of a normal day of house-sitting, you suddenly have to face ghosts causing chaos everywhere. Craft and use potions to stop them from reeking havoc before the homeowner returns!

Luckily, the houseowner left some notes on how to deal with the ghosts. Stop them from possessing things, moving furniture throughout the house and garden and scaring you, temporarily inverting your controls.

Once all ghosts are cleaned or the homeowner returns, the quality of your work will be assessed. Be sure to leave your client satisfied!

- W/A/S/D - Movement
- E - Interact
- Q - Pick up/drop
- 1/2/3 - Select/deselect potion
- Click - Throw potion (when equipped)
- Escape - Pause

The graphics are very cute. Animations are smooth, as well as the controls. I would have liked to have a name next to the potion icons to remind me which one is which. I can see not having a name there would add extra challenge though. Cute idea. Keep up the good work.

Really could use sound. Even recorded. I didn't realize I used up my potions without a sound effect.
Took me longer than it should have to figure out that was a cauldron.
Walk speed could be faster.
When you walk away from the host notes, they should automatically close. Otherwise you can't close them.
Really like the graphics!

I struggled to remember/know what everything did, it would be nice to have labels. I like that in place of actual sounds the clock had text saying tick and tack, that entertained me. It was also funny to walk into a room and just see the couch flying around. It seemed like only the third potion did anything. I did apparently win in the end.

my favorite thing about this was the ghost shading, clever way of fresnel. I would maybe keep the recipes on screen because I had a bad time remembering.

Game is preety,
Unfortunately I wasn't able to tell if potions are working or not. Some feedback after throwing would be nice.

I can agree to what others already wrote its a nice game with cool visuals. I had some problems indicating if the potions i use have an effect on the ghost. I think this has potential keep up developing and your next projects gonna be great.

At first I had a glitch with not being able to close the letter because I moved away from the interaction spot while it was open but I realised and walked back and was able to close it. This is a very intriguing take on the theme and I like it. A little more polish, especially sound, would be nice though it works with what you were able to create. Good job!

Great game, a bit confusing at the start to make the potions but I got it at the end. Maybe is missing some feedback when you stop the ghosts

Oooo, love the design of those ghosts!👻

Really cute game, love the art of the ghosts and the characters as well. The clock was charming an the little giggling pumpkins. I would have loooved to hear little sound bites, for the atmosphere.
I would have liked to know what exactly the numbers on the top right stand for. Otherwise I agree with the other people, I had a hard time sorting the colors of the potions to their effect, but that was fine. Fun game, and congratulations for publishing this all on your own!
