CHRISTMAS IS COMING

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.
