Just a suggestion to any developers looking to make Wytchwood but better.

If I'm 1 hour into a game about crafting - please, please, PLEASE don't immediately drop me 4 levels deep into fetch quests... because I will quit your game.

You have go to fetch the Snake for the Goat, but to get the Snake requires the Mirror Shards, but to get the first Mirror Shard from the Goblins I need to eliminate some other woodland creature, and to eliminate the creature I need to craft something or other, and to craft that I need to travel to various corners of the map to retrieve three items to craft another item which is part of the recipe for so-... ZZZZZZZZ.

I looked up that this game was 10 hours long, realised I'd barely escaped the first hour, and tapped out immediately.

It's a shame because the art and music in Wytchwood was lovely. Seemed like the basis for a nice relaxing chilled experience, but Fetch Quest: The Game needs a lot more seasoning to it to avoid it feeling like work.
