I, too, got a bit lost in this with the back and forth to Jack and Jonothan's house (best not to have your main characters names start with the same letter).

By the end I got it and found the ending to be the most enjoyable. Probably because I was expecting horror and that was the only horror in this.

Though parts of this were cute, it didn't work for me. Good effort though.
