Nice work! I think I found a bug though, I went into every house and inspected but it still said 5 remaining. My 3rd play through I couldn't find a gun anywhere just a trap and barricade.
Yea it's actually my fault I built the game quickly and forgot about the "Fixing / Explaining" part, there is always 5 items you probably didn't see, and the 10 houses remaining is for when santa finished searching the house he is in, it goes down (when it hits 0 he will come after you)
