“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.”
“A crouch mechanic and more hidden items to find around the house would have been cool.”
“Well made overall, but towards the end it becomes more of an annoyance than a fun game mechanic.”
“The mechanics of Santa are a bit wonky; he will catch you at the bottom of 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).”
