A Very Bad Christmas Eve

'Twas the night before Christmas, and Santa just left,
One elf alone, feeling bereft;
All of a sudden, a beeping did sound,
The machines were all breaking, but no one’s around!

His workboots he donned,
His toolbox was packed;
‘Twas up to him to save Christmas,
His knuckles he cracked!

A Very Bad Christmas Eve is a single-player action-adventure puzzle game from Incineration Productions exclusively made for the VR platform.

It is Christmas Eve. Santa Claus has just flown off with his sleigh, leaving the most magical workshop in the world. Not so long after he left, all of the elves went straight home and tucked in for the night. Except you. You play as the last Elf who still hasn’t left Santa’s workshop. Imagine yourself on a rocking chair in front of a burning fireplace, completely undisturbed, finishing the last sips of a rich hot chocolate. The lights are dimmed, Christmas lights are twinkling, you are enjoying the sounds of wood crackling in the fireplace. You can hear your favourite Christmas tracks playing from a distant old radio. Then, all of a sudden, an alarm starts to ring. You jump out of the chair and see that one of Santa’s machines has broken down. Then you realise that you are the only elf who can save Christmas. But can old St.Nick really count on you?

There are four critical machines in Santa’s workshop. You better fix them, all, on time, because even if one fails, Christmas will be ruined. Except if you don’t want to save Christmas…

The machines are as follows:

• RPS - Reindeer Positioning System
• Chimney Lube Diffusion System
• Emergency Gift Delivery System + Unstable Wrapping Paper Materialisation Unit + Tubular Gift Dispenser + Wrapping Paper Pneumatiser
• Time dilation System
