Deigon Witch

This game caught my eye because of the witchy fantasy elements. I love finding hidden gems by solo indie devs and that combined with the theme of the game had me excited. The atmosphere of this one was exactly what I was hoping, but there were too many things that frustrated me rather than feeling fun. [list] [*] The game doesn't start in English. I had to figure out which button was the settings and then change it. That took some trial and error (second button on the menu, and then click a dropdown menu to switch). [*] Everything is SO SLOW. I read a little faster than average I think, but being forced to wait to be able to advance the dialogue was so frustrating. The longer the line of dialogue the longer it forces you to wait (or so it feels). [*] The potion making is also really slow, there's no skill check or mini game to play other than adding the ingredients to the cauldron but the amount of time you have to wait on the potion to brew feels too long. The actual "spell" at the end of brewing the potion is also slow and repeated every single time. [*] The art on the character designs for the customers was inconsistent. Sometimes they were more anime vibes and others gritty fantasy world vibes. The graphics in this game feel almost completely AI generated even with the disclaimer that the dev only used it to assist and reviewed and edited all images prior to them being included in the game. I felt this should be mentioned in the review for those who avoid AI generated content. [/list] This game has potential. I was looking for something casual to play as I ease myself back into gaming after a brutal month (physically and mentally) and this just wasn't it. The characters and their backstories were interesting for how long I played before giving up but I just can't recommend the game in it's current state, especially at the $13 price point. It doesn't feel fun, it feels like a chore and with how slow everything moves it didn't manage to hold my interest.
