What players say

Players describe a short, cozy Christmas collect-a-thon with ragdoll physics and elf tossing, but many say it is buggy. Quest-breaking bugs are common, and the game needs manual launch fixes to run on modern PCs. The playtime is around two to three hours for ten euros, so players recommend waiting for a sale.
