• "Today, dear reader, you will laugh, you will cry, and perhaps even find yourself facing dark magicians, dancing under starlit skies, or indulging in a bit too much sugar. This game is a rollercoaster of emotion and Christmas magic. Will it change your life? Probably not. Will it entertain you for 25 minutes? Almost definitely. Trust me, I’m The Storyteller. I never lie... except when it makes the story better."

         Signed, The Storyteller.

• "Just days before Christmas, Ivy, an adult grappling with the loss of the magic she once felt for the holidays, stumbles upon a mysterious shop and agrees to a peculiar deal to secure the perfect gift. What happens next? Well, I could tell you, but where’s the fun in spoiling my own story? (Trust me, it’s worth it.)"

  Signed, The Storyteller.

Special Thanks 

Before talking about our team, I would like to warmly thank all the artists who shared their work with us, whether directly or indirectly. The pride we feel in this game is thanks to their incredible contributions. They truly saved our project, especially with the sprites, as unforeseen circumstances meant that the person originally responsible for them was unable to complete their work. We’re deeply grateful for the support and talent that helped bring this game to life.
