Dying in the minigame has no penalty, and failing to complete your chores seems to have no penalty other than hearing that horrifying voice shout your name. I loved the art in this game, though. The small details, everything from the box of tissues next to the computer to the power cord which goes from the power outlet to the outlet right next to it, really make this game."},{"author_name":"Pinpickle","author_uid":"1179","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:41am","epoch":1418276160,"text":"Genuinely terrifying."},{"author_name":"ynots","author_uid":"45674","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:46am","epoch":1418276460,"text":"....HILARIOUS....."},{"author_name":"TehSkull","author_uid":"13948","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:47am","epoch":1418276520,"text":"@Johnro, yeah that's definitely unintentional.

Time was running short, and I only had Google Web Fonts available to use, and a properly pixelated font was not easy to find. This was the first game I'd ever made using Construct, so there are a lot of amateur mistakes, as you noted.\r\rThe comments you made line up with my original vision, but I just wasn't fluent enough in construct to accomplish the goal in time.

I love the artwork, the protagonist's little bow-legged shuffle, and the horrible scowl on his face. The entire organization of the house reminds me of some sort of horrible blend of the witch's mansion in Spirited Away, Homestuck, and my grandmother's house\/assortment of memorabilia. Very funny.

The graphics are great, I love the warped style and all the little details going on. Voice acting fits the mood 100% too. Only small quibble I have is that the projectiles move at the same speed as the snowman, which makes things weird when you shoot while moving.
