The Great Casserole Caper
You're trapped at your psychotic uncle's house for Easter dinner, and there's a highly-dangerous casserole machine in the next room churning out a food so foul that to eat it would be to give up humanity itself. What do you do?
As ten-year-old Jeffrey McCracken, your mission is to survive a visit to Uncle Rigatoni's house and destroy the vile, plutonium-powered Casserole-O-Matic in the process. However, along the way, you'll meet up with the numerous (and borderline insane) members of the extended McCracken clan, nearly all of whom are inexplicably named after Italian food. From the dim-witted Uncle Fettuccini to the crossdressing infant Peanut to the foul-mouthed Rigatoni himself, there's no telling what kind of perils lie in store for our young protagonist.
In order to accomplish the many tasks at hand for Jeffrey to accomplish, he must solve an almost unnecessarily large number of puzzles. These can range from changing the channel on the television to uprooting a port-a-potty at the local park, all in the most absurd way possible. Though none of Jeffrey's solutions to these problems truly defy logic, they certainly aren't what most people would think to do in the given situation. There are also many secrets and locked doors in Uncle Rigatoni's house. Can you explore and take advantage of the entire building's resources to bring an end to the Casserole-O-Matic?

Despite my less-than perfect art job, TGCC's still a decent game, right? I've just tried playing through the game but I can't seem to get into Rigatoni and Edna's room after hiding in the closet. I've waited and waited and Rigatoni won't give me the clear to take off. What's going on?
