Ugh, I'm stuck. Old cook sends me to look for Jack the gardener. I finally find him out in the backyard near my hole in the wall, but then this tentacle monster comes out of the ground and drags us down. I have the axe and I can pull it out, but can't swing it, and it's game over. What am I supposed to do to avoid this?
***EDIT***
OK, the axe didn't work, but the shovel did. But then I made the mistake of helping Jack, and he ratted me out, earning me another game over.
What the hell. OK, don't help jack. He dies, game over avoided, but then Lily comes in and chews me out and tells me I'm useless, no more funtime between us.
Was the dev having a bad day when he wrote this part?
