GAME OVERVIEW
The Holiday Story throws you into a short horror trip set during Christmas and New Year’s Eve, 1982. It looks like your typical walking simulator at first—lots of atmosphere, lots of tension—but it takes the usual holiday warmth and gives it a dark twist.
You play a regular guy who’s just come back from a business trip. There’s this promise nagging at you: you told your kid you’d bring home a construction set for Christmas. Of course, you didn’t have time to grab it earlier, so here you are, stopping at this neon-lit toy and electronics shop, hoping you’ll find the right gift.
And at first? It’s all pretty inviting. The place is drenched in holiday decorations and cozy lights. But that vibe doesn’t last. Weird things start happening. AFTERBLAST

Suddenly, that cheerful little store feels off—like something’s lurking beneath the surface. Pretty soon, you’re not just shopping for toys. You’re trying to make sense of a space that keeps getting stranger and scarier the longer you stay.
The whole game is soaked in VHS-style visuals, which really cranks up the unsettling feeling. There’s this push and pull: the comfort of the holidays mixed with a creeping sense of dread.
You get that retro 1980s mood everywhere—from the decorations to the electronics—and it all feels surprisingly real. The sound design pulls you in even deeper, making those tense moments hit harder.
It’s a quick ride, too—30 to 40 minutes, tops. Not long, but definitely sticks with you. This is holiday horror with bite, packed into one memorable little package.
