Once upon a Christmas morning, a special cookie recipe was stolen. But it was not an ordinary recipe. It was a recipe created by Rudolph himself and gathered the Christmas spirit to power Santa Claus' sleigh. Without it, Christmas would be canceled...and there would be no Christmas.

In this quest to save Christmas, you will discover obstacles and use your knowledge to point out a suspect. If you fail, Christmas itself will wither and joy as we know it will vanish. You will make valuable friendships and fight alongside them in the battle to save Christmas. Make Santa Claus proud!

TO BE RELEASED CHRISTMAS MORNING, 2015!!!

Searching for coauthors if needed, beta testers as well....

Please show your support by volunteering to beta test or coauthoring! It will be very much appreciated. 

[TRUE STORY MEANING TO BE RELEASED AFTER PUBLISHING. THANK YOU!]

Enjoy this Christmas themed storygame while it is still in season!

Yep! ^-^

Mrs. Claus did it. She's always the culprit in North Pole whodunits.

It's for you to find out! I can't leak any secrets. :#

No need. I have you figured out. I swear it.

Unless she comes to her senses and includes a path where Santa finds out who stole the cookies and offers their lungs as a sacrifice to Odin.

True story? You mean, the one where Santa Claus is actually a Bavarian Chieftan and Blacksmith who is converted to Christianity and fights off the men of King Pepin the Younger?

For the same reasons Mongolians get the sissy version of Genghis: Winners write the history books.

I now envision Santa blood-eagling a bunch of infidels. Why can't that be what Christmas is about?

Well, he also invented the tebuchet, and hit people with leather nets full of caltrops and hot coals on the battlefield... And scared wild reindeer into charging enemy flanks....

The badass Santa shit was later attributed to Krampus, when all that pussy ever did was invent S&M.

A lot of history was more "metal" than we were told as kids.

I meant is as a meaning for the story and why I created it.

To be honest, I was kind of hoping this would be a game about the best way to cook Santa's favorite deer...

Hmm...combine the classic "vengeful bad-listed child" scenario with a little The Godfather.

I will beta read or co-author a special Chanukah path.

This reminds me of something...

I once had to write a holiday-themed skit for 7th Grade French (god, I had so much fun that year). My best friend was Jewish, and was also my partner on  the project. In the story of our abomination, Santa Claus was actually Jewish, and en route to deliver a Menorah to his best friend, the Gingerbread Man. 

Unfortunately, Santa was running late and missed the festivities for the first night of Chanukah. 

When he reached the Gingerbread man's house, he found that the horrible Nazi Abominable Snowman that lived  nearby had eaten the gingerbread man. Santa then proceeded to throw the snowman over the lit candles of the Menorah, melting him to death. 

I think I still have the document somewhere. 

Chanukah? Is that a different spelling or is it something different?

The spelling of Hannukah/Chanukah depends on which language you think it comes from. Or whether or not you're Canadian.

Thank you, O Wise Sentinel.

There might be a special Chanukah/Hannukah path if  I get to it in time; it's November, after all. Perhaps you can speed up the process?
