God this game was awesome. The concept in the flood of Santa and snowman games is something a bit more original in the Christmas horror genre. The Seussian rhyme and look of everything was lovely, and atmosphere built while trying to keep the box closed was smart.
MY only qualm was it took me a while to figure out what I was to do before I started finding things. Even then what I could interact with on the final item was a bit dubious.
Does this detract from the game, no. The sounds, the aesthetic, the visuals and story all overcomes this create an overall scary and oppressive experience. Fully recommend, and the fact this was made for a jam is even more impressive. I'm just sad I'm seeing it now rather than when it first came out. Keep making great games!
Oh now this was interesting! A killer toy in Christmas in a sea of Evil Santa games is a delight to see - and it certainly is delightful in terms of art and atmosphere.
I did find it a smidge too dark for its own good, as I found half the items by accident and couldn't even quite tell what the contraption you end up building is and I would like to be able to appreciate the art more, but still, a unique concept and fun execution made this a lot of fun.

An interesting game, a little short but fun.
