SantaCraft

I bought this game over a year ago, it was on sale. I thought it looked cute so I got it. I really LOVED the game. It went from being just a little christmas game to something me and my kids loved and this is the second year in a row we are playing it for the Xmas Season. Its very fun and addictive. You play as Santa who just woke up to find the North Pole was completely covered by a blizzard- You have to make tools and dig your way out to find all your reindeer, and rebuild the north pole. Its very fun. I really liked the simple crafting in the game, and all the funny characters you meet on your journey to rebuild the North Pole. You get to design and totally decorate the place how you want- even add skating rinks or even a train. This game quickly became a part of our holiday celebrations and we couldn't be happier with it!

So Cute! If you're looking for a short sweet stardew style game for the holidays this is for you, this game is literally perfect for what I needed and craved this Christmas. Best single player santa game made! <3

This is a tiny bite of a game and you can pretty much get through most of the content in a couple hours. But if you are looking for a very relaxed, easy to pick up and put down distraction from your holidays, this is a funny little game.

It's a great relaxing Christmas game.

"Santacraft" is about what you'd expect given the name -- an adorable Christmas-themed game centered around making things, the ultimate goal being to save Christmas. You craft tools to harvest seasonally-appropriate resources like giant candy canes, chocolate rocks, and gingerbread trees. You can also go fishing for saltwater taffy. Sometimes, you'll find bonus special items while harvesting, like gumballs that can also be used for crafting. To save Christmas, one of your goals is to build a village, complete with a toy workshop and houses for the elves to live in. A lot of the buildings you can craft are cosmetic and not strictly necessary to complete the game, but nevertheless I very much enjoyed building a well-rounded village with a library, toy store, candy store, bakery, clock tower, park, skating rink, and all sorts of decorations. You can also place train tracks and stations to travel. It's cute to watch the elves run around your village, and if you click them they've got something to tell you. Another goal is to find characters around the map who've held your reindeer host-- I mean, who will very kindly return your reindeer in exchange for favors. There are also a few optional side quests, and clothes to find that give you perks, such as faster resource harvesting. The game takes just a few hours to finish, but it's the definition of short and sweet. I can see myself making it a tradition to play through every year. It exudes Christmas spirit.

two hours, and you´ve seen all the "story" and solved all the tasks there are and can enter the sandbox mode, which might or might not entertain you further. a very basic, and i mean VERY, minecraft´esque gatherer/builder with winter / santa theme. for under 5€, it´s okay´ish for what it is and does. for the standard price of almost 10€ i´d give a thumbs down.

Super enjoyable little game! Great if you like chill resource gathering, crafting and decorating...with some cute Christmas humor on the side. Only downside is I don't think it'll control very well on Steam Deck, but it's great with keyboard and mouse.

Really pleased with this game for the price (bought on sale). A very cute little treasure hunt/crafting game with 100% festive feels. I particularly enjoyed the music and quirky characters. The game has a real sense of humour with some added unique features like characters designed by children. I'm not a huge fan of using a mouse in place of the keyboard but quickly got used to it. Overall this game has a lot of heart, is short but entertaining and definitely very festive. Just what I was looking for.

Cute, short game. Good for vibing and if you want to do a casual holiday stream. Don't trust the yeti. Those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are sus.

This game was adorable. I loved it. You can put on xmas music or an xmas audiobook and just have nice chill time letting Santa shovel away snow and find his pants. I want to play this every xmas eve from now on.
