The premise felt a touch contrived, but I did like how it affected gameplay. Where you're both incentivized to double time as early as possible, but also there are things you can only do when time's running out. (Also was there meant to be a whistle blow at 15 seconds? One line seems to allude to that but the game doesn't have sound)

@kbf123 Thanks for your feedback. Yes, there was supposed to be a whistle at 15 seconds (it was even recorded) but I ran out of time to record and add rest of the sounds, so I just opted out from Audio category instead of adding only a few.

Okay I was fooled, as the fool I am.. :clown:

Good game, I love the theme interpretation, wish there was sound.

I like the premise of doubling the time for each item, as well as the humor, but the movement seemed very slow for a player that is supposed to be in a hurry. Also I encountered a crash when talking to "santa" for a second time. Unfortunately I don't have the patience to get the complete ending, but it's cool that it exists.

A non-serious game, been fooled too :)

At first I thought I got pranked and no one did anything on the train, but then I figured out that you can find all of the items. Things went by a little too fast to really figure things out logically, but it was fun talking to everyone and was generally well written.

Hey, I really like the idea and also most of the game itself! However I think some of the dialogues are too long for the amount of time you have. It obviously adds to the stress level but as a person who likes dialogues in games, I would much rather have the time or possibility to enjoy them as well :D

@lazzor Actually time stops when you talk to characters. One of characters mentions it later (in response to MC being in rush during conversation), but it should be mentioned clearly at start of the game honestly.

:angry: VERY ANNOYING MAN arrr

lol good game thanks for sharing it.

Very fun and strange writing. Game kept crashing/freezing as Satan Claus pulled out an item so i never got to finish it. First time it happened was after i got a few items from him, but on my other attempts it just crashed on the first item.

Reminds me of the old point and click adventure games I played when I was a kid. The only item I could find was the penny. Wasn't sure how long I was supposed to wait to go back for the coffee. I noticed he gets angry if you ask too many times.

Well done, simple but it got me to chuckle.

@zettabit @fatsheep Thanks for reporting this bug, I've managed to found the issue. Just to make sure, you meant the game crashed after first item, on second conversation with Santa, or on first conversation, while getting first item?
