I'm a bit torn on this one. It has a decent story, has a good amount of game time, conveys the Christmas atmosphere well and there were some fun minigames in it. But after a point I got kinda tired of it. The puzzles do make sense but they are maybe too straightforward and the whole flow of the game is very linear. It's very clear what you have to use in most of the places, you use it, you get another object in return, which also is quite clear what you should use it on and so on. That made it feel a bit tedious, kinda like running errands. I also have to agree with many of the negative aspects highlighted by other reviewers: outdated look (although this one isn't that bad for me, I'm one of those older gamers so it even brings me nostalgia), some frustrating and confusing minigames that I had to skip, music and ambient sounds stop playing after a bit of being in a scene, no Steam achievements. But I guess I'll have to give it a positive review because I think overall it was good work and - especially for Christmas games - the atmosphere matters a lot to me. In the end I did finish both it and the bonus game, so I guess it kept my interest enough for me to play it for so many hours.

Oh and there are kitties in it.
