Last Christmas (v1.1.11)

A snowbound cabin turns a romantic holiday getaway into a compact nightmare where every cheerful decoration seems to hide something rotten. Last Christmas is a hand-drawn point-and-click horror adventure centered on Frankie, a man trying to give Betty an ideal festive break before the isolated retreat reveals its ugly history. The mood balances creepy folklore, mounting paranoia, and deliberately off-kilter comedy rather than playing its scares entirely straight. Its short length makes it feel like a nasty seasonal ghost story: brisk, self-contained, and willing to become stranger as the evening unravels.

Players inspect rooms, collect and combine useful objects, speak with characters, and follow clues through the cabin’s increasingly unsettling secrets. The familiar adventure-game loop is kept approachable with a hotspot locator, reducing the usual frustration of hunting for one tiny interactive pixel in a detailed background. Navigation is also snappy, letting you leave an area quickly instead of laboriously backtracking through every screen. Choices matter more than they initially appear, steering Frankie toward one of four endings and encouraging another run to see where different actions lead. Expect puzzle solving and narrative consequences rather than action-heavy survival horror; the tension comes from uncertainty, uncomfortable discoveries, and deciding whom—or what—to trust.

Its strongest asset is the contrast between cozy Christmas imagery and grim, surreal horror, supported by richly illustrated locations that give the cabin a distinct personality. Dark jokes keep the story from becoming oppressively bleak, although the humour is intentionally macabre and will land best with players who enjoy horror that is a little mean and weird. A single playthrough lasts roughly half an hour to an hour, while 24 achievements and alternate conclusions provide the main reason to revisit it. Fans of classic click-and-point adventures and concise indie horror in the vein of Chilla’s Art-style one-sitting experiences should find plenty to enjoy, while newcomers benefit from its useful quality-of-life tools and manageable scope.
