I found the key, got the power back on, escaped to the hallway, but then I got stuck... :(
I'm not really good at escape-the-room type of stuff, so I wish there were more hints so I knew what to do next.

It's a pretty nice looking game, though!

Developer

Sorry, you got stuck like that, we were gonna add notes around the map to both hint and hook players into the story, but we ran into lots of merge issues that causes developers to redo 3 hours of work, it got whacky pretty fast; I want to assume based off you didn't mention the color changing orbs that you got stuck on that puzzle;

Essentially it was a memory-based puzzle where there are the symbols under each orb pedestal and they are colored green, red, blue, purple, and orange; you'd just be running back and forth matching orb colors to the corresponding symbol colors, like how in the main room there's a green symbol, and so forth.

I love the pixel art style, which is simple but neat. As someone who loves horror, this was amazing to play through. Story is nice and game is smooth to play through. It can be kind of confusing at times though. But overall, it is a fantastic game!

Thank you for this amazing comment, definitely made both my partner's and I's day when we read this yesterday.

We definitely would've gotten more down with gameplay and other chunks of the game but we ran into issues with plastic scm left and right haha

At the start I was a bit confused but managed to figure it out. Great game!

Developer

Yeah, even during playtesting we figured it could be confusing, we would've gotten a lot more into this project if we didn't run into our collab issues, for some odd reason we'd both be working on something and when we'd both push the collab software Unity uses, that Plastic SCM, it many times made us choose whos push was more important and would cause the other person to redo their hours of work again which got very frustrating lol; many nights of downing red bulls occurred haha!

Cool game, I was a little confused what to do to be honest, I found the key, the electrical room and escaped but then I was lost in the hallway. All in all, a cute little game, great work!

understandable, we originally were gonna have maybe pointer notes to get the player immersed in the story,  but Unity did a lot of funny stuff with merge errors and completely rewriting our code and so forth.

but you mainly do just wander around and explore looking for a way out of Santa's workshop

[HINT] Assuming by lost in the hallway you may not get through the color puzzle; its memory based, in the room there's a green symbol and you interact with the post above the corresponding symbol and match the color, the correct combination will open the door on the right side of the room (the symbols are spread out so it's understandable if there is confusion or frustration)

thank you though for trying the game and leaving a comment!
