Jessica's Uncomfortable Hanukkah Adventure is a retro platformer set in the world of Dog and Spider Private Investigations. Never read the books? No big deal! How many of us even care about the back story behind Mega Man or Castlevania? Be a cop out to rescue her family! Swing your baton at the jerks, shoot them, learn to be a spider that inexplicably cannot stick to walls, who knows what's ahead of you?

Hey. We know you can get an SNES game out of the closet whenever you'd like... and we aim to provide exactly the same fun you'd have doing that. We set out to make a game that our 12 year old selves would love. Why walk ALL THE WAY OVER THERE to play a fun platformer when you're already at your computer anyway?

Legal threat cleared.
A really big-time and misogynist YouTuber their best to get JUHA kicked off Steam, but we are in the clear now. I spent 10 hours today working on the game with that weight lifted off my shoulders. New update coming soon. Suck it, faux drunkard! You ain't Scottish and the drunk talk is a voice filter. I was broke long before I was ever woke, and you do not speak for the Chicago PD. Props to them for supporting me in this fight despite my many ACAB posts. The US police system is the problem, not individual police officers. Like any child born out of wedlock it ain't your fault you're bastards, and you can choose what you do from there. That's why Jessica is a proud (though fictional) member of the Chicago PD. Shine on, boys. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43874226/bc1e9a45ea2932bc2d1d01ae978ec11a181c5992.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Christmas)Patch NotesOfficial
