CHRISTMAS IS COMING (Patreon)

I've been trying to write a game about Christmas movies for bloody years - I find them fascinating. (Not enough to sit down and watch the damned things, mind you - I have my pride - but the concept alone is enthralling. I've watched The Christmas Prince, and the associated sequels, a couple of times. And that time-travelling one with Vanessa Hudgens. Or was that the one about twins? Anyway. I get the idea.)

Turns out the best way to do it was to treat Hallmark's relentless heteronormatism and reinforcement of Christian, patriarchal norms as a sort of cosmic horror akin to your Cthulhus and your Kings in Yellow, and go from there. So it's a survival horror game, and it's a body horror game, and odds are you won't make it unless you fall in love and embrace the true magic of Christmas.

Weird stuff. It's good to be back. Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.
