The Night Before [Christmas Horror]
A downloadable game for Windows
On Christmas Eve, a lone security guard patrolling an abandoned nursing home discovers an unopened present in his office. Curiosity getting the better of him, he decided to unwrap it...before Christmas morning.
To his dismay, the innocent act triggered a surge of eerie occurrences. The atmosphere in the once-silent nursing home became charged with a dark energy, leaving the guard regretting the decision to open the ominous gift and turning what should have been a peaceful night shift into an escape plan from a dangerous entity.

Thanks for not being harsh on restarts!
Having played all your games so far, and deeply enjoyed both the Mr. Hopps series and your last Christmas game Cold Case, this was an exciting thing to find here on Itch.io.
And it starts out great! You walk around just long enough to get on edge with nothing happening, and then the Snowglobe provides some fantastic tension... and then it becomes yet another "find all the items without getting killed" game.
It's probably just me who isn't a big fan of those, but with the monster's path and your starting point, I found it near impossible to actually sneak around, and ended up just bruteforcing it since the game (mercifully) saves the runes you find between attempts. It would be nice if there was more of a feeling of a chance that you can sneak around. But I realize this was likely done quickly and meant to be perfectly simple.
But aside from a little bit of annoyance with a gameplay style I was never too big on, this is still delightful - your visual style is great, and the monster is delightfully freaky. Good stuff!
The monster is great and I loved the build up with the snowglobe setting the plot. Feels like a more difficult Slender style game with narrow rooms but it was a lot of fun juking the monster.
I will be playing this live tomorrow 12/15 around 7-730 PM EST =)
It was quite thrilling when the monster chased me! The path was complicated at first, but once I got used to it, I was able to clear it easily! It was fun!
+ This video has some parts edited to be a little scarier than the original game.
Just Played It! Funny Thing Is I Just Played Cold Call 3 Days Ago In My Main Channel And Now This New Banger Came Out! Welp, Time To Edit The Video Of Me Playing This Game Now! Love Your Games As Always MOONBIT :)
