A Christmas like never before…
Some key points that this game offers:
- Santa Claus herself, all dressed up for you.
- Beautiful artwork.
- Excellent sound track.
- Fun and exciting Christmas story.
Gameplay & Controls:
Another one of those beauties where you sit back, press the auto button and then enjoy as a beautiful story unfolds in front of you… If you are a fast reader you can set the text appearances speed and the speed of how fast it moves on to the next script.
If a nice image pops up, you can click the mouse button to hide the UI and grab that shot, if you missed one, you can just scroll back with the mouse wheel. If you feel like progressing at your own pace you can always just click to move onto the next screen instead of using the auto feature.
Graphics:
Every scene is carefully and beautifully created giving us locations that are brimming with vibrant colours, making them feel alive and so welcoming. Each scene is unique, filled with detail to really make it a pleasant sight to behold; some of these images are so lively that you can get lost admiring just how beautiful they are.
The characters are all uniquely designed and created, each with their own look, body movement and presentation to give them their own personality. On the setting side of things, we can choose Full screen or Window Mode.
Sounds:
The game really has a very soothing soundtrack, that not only sets the mood for the game, but it has the Christmas spirit, really enhancing the overall atmosphere that the game sets within the Christmas theme, all in all it comes together brilliantly with the rest of the game.
On the settings side of things, we have full volume control of the Music volume, the Sound Volume and the Ambience volume.
Replayability:
The game offers four different endings giving you more than enough reasons to replay it. By replaying it, the game doesn’t just change a character or scene here and there, but the entire story line changes.
Depending on who you choose to spend time with each playthrough will be a new experience.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Spoilers Ahead:
Koji is our protagonist this time around, it is Christmas time and he is all alone during the festive season, stuck in a town he doesn’t know well only adds to his loneliness. Until he decides to go to his local shrine and make an offering with a wish for a friend, and that is where our story begins, that wish is going to give Koji more than he bargained for.
The story is very well created, it reads beautifully and truly is bliss to experience, and for a change we have a character that isn’t overly shy but rather forward in certain aspects and with his own feelings which is a nice change of pace.
As I briefly mentioned above, the game has reason to replay it and where it is usually just a change of script here or there, replaying this one is almost entirely different each time you replay it, it does depend on your choice that you make. All in all, you really are in for one heck of a time here.
