I think I would have personally given this game the number 1 spot for fall vibes, simply because it managed to inspire so much imagination in me solely through storytelling and simple background screenshots. I loved the whole ambiance and the idea of a commite of haunting! Having to convince ghosts to help you is brilliant and leads to a cool ghost-chase that isn't necessarily scary (which I like) :) However (and I might just be a bit too dumb), I was unable to solve the initial puzzles that appeared. I wasn't quite sure where to look or what hints to use. Maybe I missed a bit? I'd love to play it again if you could give me some pointers. Anyway, for now I'll just say good job on this really cool entry. It obviously took a lot of work, and that shows. Thanks so much for participating in the jam!

Thank you very much for playing and for hosting! You are def not too dumb - I kinda ran out of time to really incorporate the hints to the puzzles better and that's the biggest thing I think is missing in making it a smooth experience overall. Some puzzle solutions also require going down certain text paths that might not seem required or seem circular at first. It's all a bit messy, haha. Here are some hints below!
- For Chester - go inside the house and see what kind of toys he plays with/what his favorite sport is
- For Dolly - check inside the church to see what verse the Bible is open at
- For Houndstooth - the animal symbols represent the words you find, ordered largest to smallest
Hope that helps and again thanks so much for the kind words!!
