The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

A cheerful, arcade-style romp where a vacationing Santa races and battles with whimsical winter creatures.

What players say

Players see Santa's Vacation as a simplistic, short arcade game suited for young children, but many call it an asset flip with repetitive levels that recycle the same map. The leaderboard is broken and there is no multiplayer. A few players also complain about loud volume and a missing save feature.
