The Ingredient
A short, interactive story, which is loosely inspired by "Spiegel das Kätzchen".
You are a little cat who lives in the manor of an alchemist. You have 5 days left until you end up as the main ingredient of one of her potions.
Decide each day, which part of the manor you want to explore. Your choices influence your mind, your body or your magic abilities and will shape your final destiny.
This project was a submission for inkJam2019.

This is just a reminder that Dream Jam ends within two weeks!! I don't question your ability to produce another visually enticing interactive experience, but in case you do have second thoughts of your own, feel free to reach out to me or any of your fellow jammers for support!

Hello, Haunted Forest. How are you doing on your Dream Game? Just let me know if you require any sort of assistance whatsoever.

Well, this is simply a CHARMING game. I see a lot of potential here for an elaborate narrative format which is at once mystifying and familiar to the casual Roleplaying Gamer. The style is reminiscent of Burton and Gaiman, and it leaves just enough to the Imagination to feel immersive. My only recommendation would be to incorporate music. I can refer you to a number of independent composers, myself included, to that end. There are sound designers who will resonate with a story like this and who can supplement atmosphere. At any rate: you clearly have both Vision and Sensibility. I am looking forward to seeing your contribution to Dream Jam!!

Aw man, I found freedom, but it was sorta a pyrrhic victory. Maybe I'll return to find a different means of escape.
Thanks for playing :) Most victories comes at a cost at this state of the game. If I'll ever go back to work on the game again, I'd love to add more options and endings.
Really good! Found freedom on my second attempt.
Thanks and congrats for finding freedom :D
