I could say the humor is too dark for me but that would be a lie. :smile: Santa dancing in the chimney is hilarious. The gameplay is a bit repetitious but the great sounds keep it interesting through the whole game. Overall it's a 4/5 for me :thumbsup:

edit: I would recommend you to stop bluting! (Love that line. Keep hinzufüging those.)

Points for the very dark humor. Unfortunately, the game did seem to lock up when I tried to restart the game after failing.

Really liked the art, the dancing santa, and the "bad" ending :)

I didn't enjoy the gameplay so much (of looking for things near the children's bed at night) but I really enjoyed the idea and the atmosphere!

Not a PG friendly game, I can say that for sure. Nice game, I had fun!

Maybe.

Very interesting art style, great job on that. Finding children based on clues was well done, and a bit creepy...

On a last note, watch out for your game size next time. A big game is less likely to be downloaded. There are some tricks to reduce game size like compressing audio and textures that you can look for on the net.

Overall very good ! Thank you for your game ;)

Welp, that was a bit dark. In more ways than one.

At first I punished those who did not like me personally. And then read the note from santa :) Well done!
