EDITORIAL REVIEWS

  Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling
  <http://emshort.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/if-comp-2011-escape-from-santaland/>
  > The emphasis on implausible brain teasers and light layer of fiction may not
  > appeal to everyone, but the game thoroughly accomplishes what it sets out to
  > do. People who like Hollywood Hijinx or some of the classics of the mid-90s
  > will probably find Escape from Santaland a light-hearted and tidily
  > constructed entry in that tradition.
