    • “A fun game with a story I really didn't see coming.”
    • “Overall, I enjoyed the story and the ending was satisfying.”
    • “I was expecting a bit more closure, explanation, or story, and the game does feel like a product made for a game jam, but I have hopes the devs will spend more time explaining the events of that fateful 24th December 1989 (or 88? or 87?) in their prequel.”
    • “The story isn't very deep and the puzzles are pretty straightforward.”
    • “I didn't like the story at all.”

  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features modern mouse interactions that enhance accessibility and speed but polarize fans of classic point-and-click adventures by diminishing the thrill of exploration. While there are enjoyable puzzle elements, the overall experience is marred by a disjointed narrative that leads to an unsatisfying and confusing conclusion, undermining the gameplay's impact.

    • “Interactions are performed with a mouse, which incorporates modern mechanics.”
    • “While Last Christmas does provide some fun puzzle-based gameplay, the experience as a whole is disjointed and the ending is unsatisfying and a little confusing due to the lack of build-up and the overall disconnect between the gameplay and narrative, particularly the conclusion.”
    • “This mechanic is rather polarizing among lovers of classic point-and-click adventure games because it removes the excitement of discovering something on your own, but it makes the game more accessible and the gameplay faster.”
    • “The narrative does not progress logically to its conclusion and the overall effect is an unearned, gratuitous, and wholly unsatisfying finale that seems to render the preceding gameplay a bit pointless.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky and absurd scenarios, such as the protagonist's comically disastrous attempts at cooking and decorating, which blend lightheartedness with darker themes. Players appreciate the cleverness of the puzzles, which often incorporate humor while maintaining a sense of logic, contributing to an overall enjoyable and whimsical experience.

    • “I spent about one hour with Frankie and his hilarious attempts to decorate the cabin and make a delicious/quite toxic meal for his girlfriend (a meal that could have killed them both, if they ended up eating it, I reckon :D).”
    • “This game goes from chill and kind of funny to creepy to... perhaps gloomy.”
    • “Lovely game, there's an out-of-the-box logic to the puzzles but they still make sense, and sometimes they can be quite humorous, cool twist as well.”
