Some mechanics, like leaning, feel underutilized, and there are complaints about the AI's unpredictable behavior. Players expressed a desire for additional features, such as a crouch mechanic and more hidden items to enhance the experience.

“The gameplay was pretty simple, along with the mechanics, though sometimes, when I wanted to interact with an item or light switch, it wouldn’t register.”
“The mechanics of Santa are a bit wonky; he will catch you at the bottom of the stairs even if you are around a bend and rail.”
“The game also has a lean mechanic, but it is unused for anything, and the shadow does not lean with you, which is really scary.”
