Santa █████ is a procedural 2D platformer about Santa and his ascent away from the cold and descent into Hell. Gameplay consists of running and jumping around to escape the spreading frost and great wall of ice, while picking up candy canes and keeping an eye out for SECRETS.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Santa has problems, like anyone else. For the 364 other days in a year not spent directly spreading wealth and joy around the world, he can be down on himself. 

Things with Ms. Claus aren’t like they used to be. He has lived for hundreds of years, with few but the arctic wildlife, elves and spouse as company. He has sustained an empire of love and happiness, but is concerned by how the world has evolved since the industrial revolution. The spirit of Christmas isn’t present, nor is it presents.

Do the children really need gifts?

And that brother of his (he was feared and shunned for his horns), is he making it alright on his own? 

All of this is just too much for old Santa sometimes. So what does he do? He takes a hike. And somber, in the snows of solitude, the frost is much to bear, and the past catches up.

“What if Christmas didn’t come this year? And no one paid for Christmas cheer? Who would cry the biggest tear, the child or the store?”
