Games suitable for Christmas/New Year
I’m looking for games that have this Xmasy feel to them, with lots of snow, Santa, gnomes, Christmas trees, etc
Preferably comedy games (like Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa and Puzzle Agent series) or games that have this soothing and relaxing feel to them, or carry adventure spirit (like Lost Horizon, Book of Unwritten Tales series).
I wouldn’t like games that are winterish but will either bore you half way through (like Syberia (even though it was a beautiful game)) or give you the chills (like Barrow Hill, Lost crown, etc)
You are welcome to mention freeware, indie as well as good casual games.
Everything you need to know about me has already been told.
I have a strange feeling of deja vu !
Wonder why…
For funny,and a true point and click adventure I would say Simon the sorcerer
(has a snowy part and a snowman)
The journeman project 3 has snow in one of the travels
Gilbert goodmate has also a snowy bit, it’s funny, but it’s a little borring.
One of the Agon episodes has snow too.
For an atypical and serious adventure there’s Farenheit.
And of course Dreamfall, but being away to long I have no idea if U finished it yet or not.
I am baaaaaaaack!
Why, Christmas Quest, of course!
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Fahrenheit and Dreamfall are suitable for this end of the world theme too (it didn’t happen, what?) but they are not cheery holiday games .
Currently Playing: Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
Recently Played: Red Embrace: Hollywood, Dorfromantik, Heirs & Graces, AI: The Somnium Files, PRICE, Frostpunk, The Shapeshifting Detective (CPT), Disco Elysium, Dream Daddy, Four Last Things, Jenny LeClue - Detectivu, The Signifier

Yay, kate me, you’re back. We all missed you greatly! (Well actually mostly Trunkyo and me, we’ve been wondering where you are, but there was no way of contacting you. You simply got to give me a way to contact you this time ) How have you been, btw, and what are you up to these days?

Wow, I know all of these games, and I still had no idea they had snowy parts in them.
I’m not really interested in playing any of the Journeyman Project games right now, really.
I might try playing Simon the Sorcerer first

Thanks for reminding me. I really must play Fahrenheit soon. I haven’t gotten around to replaying Dreamfall yet (been playing mostly comedy games like Hollywood Monsters, Edna & Harvey), but I will probably play The Longest Journey first this time ( I’ll probably like April better )
Yay, a comedy Christmas game. Thanks a lot TimovieMan

Three of them, actually. Christmas Quest is a trilogy! This article has links to all three.
My Christmas games are Secret Files 3 and The Critter Chronicles. As for other Christmassy games: Runaway 2 has some snow in it and is very lighthearted. The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav also has a fair bit of snow in it and has that magical Christmassy feeling that Syberia also had but is more fast paced and has more of a grand adventure sense. As for Indie Ben Jordan case 7 takes place around Christmas. And if you’re looking for a more casual experience the third Art of Murder game has some snowy scenes. It’s far from a masterpiece but good for a couple of hours of relaxing fun.

Thank you, Jackal. I actually now remember that I heard about this series before, I have only forgotten it’s name. They’ll be first on my “to play” list.
Nice to see that admins have time to respond to “What game you’re looking for” threads. Your new avatar is brilliant, btw.

I already played Runaway 2(in fact the whole Runaway series is my favourite one). I’m not really interested in playing Art of Murder games right now.
I’ll look into the other ones a bit more. I actually didn’t know The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav and Secret Files 3 had snowy regions.

Group hug !
I took a break from forums, I was a bit busy. But that’s over now, I’m back and I don’t plan on leaving again too soon!
How have you been, btw, and what are you up to these days?
I’ve been ok, I spent a snow-free Christmas with my family.
I might try playing Simon the Sorcerer first .
I think you’ll like it
I am baaaaaaaack!
