Gameplay: Not much more than moving around but nothing feels awkward or out of place.

Combat: Non-existent, but at least the main character made a smart move just bolting.

Comedy: This game's strong suit IMO. Loved the tacky columns and Carpenter just noping outta there.

Sound: Liked the extra effort with the custom sounds and the slasher theme was kind of a jam.

Visuals: Not much outside of RTP but I do like the Harold makeover.

Story: Short but sweet.

Harold certainly got “ahead” of the competition, didn’t he?

This right here is the reason I made this xD

EVIL DIES TONIGHT!

...Or you know maybe we can reschedule it to a later day. I'm not too hung up on that "tonight" part. 

Fun short entry. I did notice I wasn't able to interact with the body if I was standing to the left of him. Felt a bit odd, since I had been able to interact with the cloth just fine in that position.

Yeah, I screwed up ;_;

I saw the struggle that it was to put this game together. Good job on that!

I would have liked to had some music before Harold Meyers enters the scene. More depth in the gameplay or story would have been nice too.

Other than that, I didn't run into any bugs or other major issues. It's not too long either. Glad you got this one in!

I got a big laugh outta the pure rtp behind the eyes line.  Thought this was a fun little take on the idea.  Music was banging and on point.  Enjoyed for sure.

Love what you did with the theme song! Why didn't anyone else think of that yet? Short, but the eventing you had was tight. I know too little of the source material, but I think you did it justice. I also laughed at least one time! A worthwhile entry!

This is a delightful nugget of pure nothing! I'll skip my usual feed back of explaining each star and just toss out my thoughts.

I liked the set up and I wish there had been more. It was a good set of cut scenes.
I liked how you handled what was under the red cloth.

Now as a Myers fan I liked the way you presented the looks of Harold. I also liked the intro text.

Was it a game? No. It was a nod and a fan work. I wish it had been a real game.
And that's all I can really say about it.

I was wondering whilst playing what he tagline joke would be, was not disappointed.

Nice! I'd be interested to see this expanded someday.

Haha if only everyone is sensible like this in a horror plot setting.

This game feels like a pop culture reference I don't understand?

If you've never seen the Halloween movies, a lot of things won't make sense lol
