If you haven’t found out by now, look for the tabs on the left side of the manual. Choose I believe the caldron. On the right side, select the tab which looks like a page with writing on it. It will take you to recipe pages. It’s here, where you’ll find how to make food.
if you’ve found out how to make you’re creatures sad, please let me know.
Problem is, the developer of the game is extremely sneaky/deceptive about the fact that even if you have gold, you can't spend it until you pay $7.99 to "unlock" the padlocked cash register. So really, the game is a tutorial trial, and to really get going, it's 100% pay-to-play. Very deceiving, but that's how capitalists make money...
I paid the $7.99 and still have no idea how to make the food. It seems like I need ingredients that I don't have the level to buy... so confusing but SO addictive
