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!
