WHY WONT THIS PUMPKIN FLUSH DOWN MY TOILET?!?!!?
I loved this idea, I loved how humurous this whole ordeal was, and I just... loved this. A great, creative work!! <3
If you don't mind my little advice, I would say that you dosify the text a bit more. Putting so many paragraphs at once could be intimidating to some readers (I know, text in a text adventure!? the world shocked!!). Also in the ending where I summoned my Ghost Dad, it didn't give me a way to Try Again :c not sure if that was planned.
Anyways, it was great and I love it.
Thank you for the advice! In hindsight, I should've broken up the beginning a bit more, yeah, and the seance ending not having a retry is actually a bug! For some reason Ink won't let you scroll down to the bottom of the entry correctly, so the button is there it's just broken. I couldn't find a solution to it in time so I went ahead and published anyway. Glad you liked it!
Aww, Tim! Will he never get his pumpkin? I giggled a lot at the chatty mom, that voice was so spot-on, and I got some truly surreal endings. Nice work!

Nice, humorous writing about a realistic yet surreal scenario, well done! Think that pacing is something which could be improved, I think having THAT MUCH text at the start is a bit overwhelming.
Oh goodness me, I'm dying at this. I just can't seem to get a good ending! Have to try again. This is fun!
Took a few tries but I got the Spooky Ending at last~ Cool adventure game with good good halloween vibes
