What I'm saying is I wish we had some common goal, instead of his goal being to stand there unless something evil is within AI distance. Hell, even if he had walked back and forth it would have worked.

Um. No shit?

How is that a "No shit?" It's supposed to be a funny game. The game told me to get back at the children. I'm not allowed to take creative liberties? Isn't that what the game sold itself on? "You can summon anything! Only, don't summon anything in this level, you have to summon something snow related to win."

You can just pick up summoned things like Cthulhu and put them away before they cause any more harm than you intended them to.

Why should I have to? A lot of the puzzles punish me for killing a person, even if the person themselves played no part in the puzzle. It's done for no reason other than to limit my options and that's not what they told me when they were hyping their game.

In short, it's one thing to criticise the game for its flaws (controls, limited interaction, etc.), it's another thing to bitch at the game for not reading your mind for its outlandish and crazy solutions. You're not just doing it wrong, you're flying so far off the chart with your 'solutions' that expecting success with them is folly.

I'm bitching because a game that sold itself on how much I could do and all the different interaction it had between objects and all that good stuff is punishing me when I try to do that. Am I using extremely loose interpretations to all the game's puzzles? Hell yes, that's the point of it. I'm pushing it to its limits because that's what it was sold on, and my problem is that the limits go about half as far as I would have wanted, if that.

And Cthulhu can work. In the level with Halloweeners that said "Trick or treat!" as its only hint.

I didn't bother to try summoning anything because of the game getting mad at me when people died before. Plus, by simply throwing the pumpkin at them I stayed further under par and got more Ollars! It is also worth noting that I meant to give the kid the pumpkin, but the controls and I had a civil dispute.
