I love the overall premise here, especially with the aura affecting the world around you. Getting to talk to the ghosts for guidance was a plus! I've got to know, was the chef making a joke out of the whole tomato also being a fruit?
Side note, I did encounter a bug when using objects (i.e. the wrench) too close to the Pumpkin it could sometimes push the object out of reach from grabbing again and essentially soft-lock me.
