Great game. Witty, clever, funny. The writing is nothing short of outstanding.

I wrote a review on IFDB: Deck the Halls, Gieves - Details (ifdb.org)

Being French, I have absolutely no familiarity with Wodehouse, and the style made the text a bit difficult to read, but I have to say I enjoyed the story and the mood!

I also appreciated the efforts you’ve gone to increase the accessibility: highlighting the directions is really nice when there is some much text, the complete hints are helpful, and disabling the slang is a nice idea (although I played with the slang and it did not trouble me that much).

The puzzles, even if logical, were a bit difficult, though.

Often, you have to type an action with an object that doesn’t exit; for example, you have to UNSCREW HOOK, but X HOOK does nothing, so I just thought the hook wasn’t implemented therefore I didn’t try to unscrew it.

The hints were sometimes misleading. For example, one of them says that you “have a closer look at the tip of the cane”, but X TIP doesn’t work. But that didn’t happen often and overall the progressive hints were very helpful.

Having a single illustration for each region made it a bit difficult to navigate, but I found that each of them summarised very well the entirety of each region.

Still, despite those flaws, I loved having a game that was more linear and narrative than the others, and without elves nor reindeers. ;) (That’s too bad I couldn’t appreciate the Wodehousian style since I have no familiarity with him.)

I enjoyed this one.  I liked the self-contained parts of the game, and I loved the atmosphere - I've never read Wodehouse but of course am familiar with the premise of Jeeves and Wooster, and it was a really interesting choice for a Christmas game.

I didn't find the puzzles too hard or need to check the hints until the very last action with the pocket square, as I couldn't quite guess the right verb there.  I thought they were very well implemented and just the right difficulty level (though the hint system is very welcome as I think it's a necessity in a modern adventure).

There only being one graphic for a range of locations took a bit of getting used to, but I think on the whole it actually suited the game better.

Good game length too.  Probably one of my favourites so far in this jam!

This is a very well-written game! The mood has been really nailed, and the characters have fun personalities. The hinting system is pretty well done too, that's nice.

It seems the 'hard' elements could be improved with some polish.
The shared graphics make it a bit confusing to navigate, e.g. you see a store but you can't enter it because it's not the right location.
While interacting with the objects, you could hint a tad better at their use. For instance you have a shaving kit in your suitcase. It sounds a lot like a useful prop. But you can't get it or examine it. In the end, you can't use it. The simplest way to make it work without effort would be to remove it. Otherwise, upon inspection/get display a message "I'm already shaven, so there's no other use I can find to this".
Another way is that when you try interacting with an object, say "screw cane", it just tells you "I don't know how to do that". It would help at that point to say "Maybe I could find a way upon closer inspection of the cane?". Especially as for me, since the hook is a screw and not a bolt you don't need the cane to be threaded, as screws are self-threading.
You definitely need feedback to get those right (this is something we also learned).

Overall, it's very enjoyable, and very refreshing to get that good old book feel for a change.
The post-mortem was also quite enjoyable, it's an interesting look into the process and the other ideas are also very interesting.  

I had some spare time today, so I've added a hint system to the game for those who are getting stuck; I've had mentions from a few people, not only comments here on itch.io. Just like most authors, I didn't think that my puzzles were that hard, but of course I already know the solutions! :)

Type HINT at the prompt to get your first hint, and also some instructions on how to use the hint system. The hints are revealed one stage at a time, as you ask for them, and still don't ever give the out-and-out solution (but they do come pretty close to it).
