Polytely Games’ Last Christmas boasts lovely hand-drawn graphics, augmented by an excellent, unobtrusive music track and a facile third-person interface. These artfully crafted elements strengthen a bite-sized story with simple puzzles. Casual players who enjoy short stories and straightforward puzzles will relish this experience. Hardcore adventure game players who favor complex narratives and challenging puzzles may not be satisfied.
The game features beautiful hand-drawn graphics that resemble a beloved Christmas special, which will surely attract players. The exterior scene is covered in snow, with an outhouse and a neighbor's cabin visible in the distance. Inside the house, the walls are ready to be decorated for the holidays, and the atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation.
To enhance the holiday spirit, the sound effects in the game are quite enjoyable. Although the music is not specifically for Christmas, it doesn't interfere with the gameplay. The main character's voice acting is of high quality, conveying a sense of enjoyment while decorating. The emotions of the character are well-portrayed, allowing players to connect with the short story. Overall, the polished voice-overs add to the game's immersive experience.
Christmas Eve 1989 tasks an eager, well-meaning boyfriend named Frankie with bedecking a cabin for a romantic holiday with his girlfriend, Betty. To ensure better insight, it would have been helpful to have some background information about the two individuals. Frankie's to-do list includes cutting down a Christmas tree, making mulled wine, and other festive preparations. From time to time, particularly, when he’s not expecting it, our hero may be visited by the cabin’s lingering previous tenant.
The chores can be efficiently accomplished with the aid of a traditional point-and-click interface. Left-clicking lets you interact with the environment, while right-clicking provides descriptions. The inventory can be accessed by pointing your mouse cursor to the top of the screen. There’s a list to keep track of tasks that need doing and a hotspot indicator. Players will find these accessories useful. A detailed explanation of the controls is accessible at the menu, a thoughtful Christmas gift indeed!
In this adventure, you will need to explore the house to find items that can be used to decorate it for the upcoming holiday. You will also need to follow a list of tasks to ensure that Betty has a pleasant evening. The relatively easy challenges involve moving items from one part of the house to another. For example, one task requires taking a decorative wall plate from one room and placing it in another room for traditional use.
If you enjoy brief tales and uncomplicated challenges, then Last Christmas is the perfect game for you. A twist at the conclusion adds a twinge of horror to its festive vibe.
Last Christmas offers players a morsel of eccentric holiday entertainment. It's perfect for those who don’t have the time to devote to a complex experience; ideal for a short break from conventional holiday routines.
