Steam reviews

What players say

Short, cozy and free; most players enjoy its charm and art, though some find the puzzles obscure.

Most players recommend this short, free Christmas point-and-click adventure, in which the cat Milo and the rabbit Toby search for a lost present in a sequel to Milo and the Magpies. Many players praise the hand-painted winter scenes, the gentle festive mood and the soundtrack, and several say the snowy scenes of the two animals playing together moved them. Playtime is typically under an hour. Many players criticise the puzzle logic as obscure, with solutions that are hard to guess, and some needed a walkthrough, especially for the optional secrets and timed achievements. A few find the story thin and the interaction limited. Recent reviews are more divided than Steam's overall score, with several reviewers saying they needed a guide to progress.
