Héméra

The theme of this year's French IFComp is cycle and/or revolution.

In this short Ink game, you are in a looping timeline where someone knocks on your door, demanding a potion.

You have a grimoire with two potion recipes in it, alluding in a riddle-like way to different herbs. You have to select the right herbs like a combination lock.

Not being my native language, some of the clues were difficult. Also, one very particular path in the opening sequence gives you, in a non-intuitive way, an extra helpful book.

So it was fun and looks nice, but was a bit frustrating.
