The story is a charming holiday narrative centered around a character chasing an "intruder" who turns out to be Santa, complemented by various cute side stories unfolding in the background. The interactive 360° format allows players to explore these mini-stories without missing any part of the main plot, enhancing the overall experience with engaging visuals and a lighthearted tone. Overall, it is described as a delightful and stylized tale that encourages exploration and discovery.
- “This is a short, cute, nicely stylized story.”
- “One of the best features about this little story is that things other than the main story are happening all around you.”
- “Main story pauses while you're distracted.”
- “So the main story is about a guy chasing an 'intruder' who happens to be Santa, but all these other apartments have mini stories to tell. When you turn your back on the Santa story to look at another apartment, you don't miss anything.”
- “The animations are based on your gaze, meaning the part of the scene you're looking at plays out its story while the part you're not looking at pauses dynamically.”
