Some symbolism in the game:
- Although the Tanuki statue has been seen as bringing fortune and luck to one self in current time, back in folklore, they are sometimes seen as bad omens as the Tanuki, or bakedanuki, are yokai that likes to play trick on humans by shapeshifting itself to humans or other things.
- In a lot of Asian cultures, crows that surround a house means that someone in the house has died or a warning that someone will die.
- Cutting one's fingernails or toenails at night is considered a bad omen in old Japanese folklore as it means they will curse their parents to death.
-In Japanese culture, the Koi fish is a symbol of luck, prosperity, and good fortune. Killing it, more specifically, beheading it, will render it powerless and thus no longer effective.

My favorite part of chillasart games is that they reference actual problems prevalent in Japanese society, such as overworking, suicide epidemics, toxicity in family dynamics covered up or going unreported due to social pressures, parasocialism and the darker parts of the entertainment industry, etc. Parasocial was one of the first Chillasart games I saw, and I got chills at how real it was, especially since Oshi No Ko, which also dealt with the dark side of show biz, came out not long before. These social issues aren't just a problem in Japan tho and I'm glad media is tackling these issues.

The Japanese word for 'dawdling' is ぐずぐず' (guzu guzu), and he definitely did not say that. However, when translators translate Japanese, they often use context clues in a sentence to translate what's being said in a smooth, contextually appropriate fashion. So ultimately, the sentence utilizing 'dawdling' was really just translated in a way that flowed smoothly and likely with a bit of translation flare from the translator.
I hope this helps anyone curious!

Jack pausing at the very beginning of a horror game to check if a tanuki has "massive balls" just tells you that the game play is going to be that much better
