Shadows of Christmas Eve

Shadows of Christmas Eve is set during the Christmas season. It follows a young girl whose nightmares become more disturbing with each night. Familiar rooms in her home start to change, and she is drawn into a mystery in which it becomes harder to tell reality from nightmare.

The source description names puzzles, hidden clues and small details as the means of finding out what is happening. Players are expected to examine their surroundings closely, as these elements are presented as the way to uncover the cause of the changes in the house.

The game also describes a growing sense of danger the longer the girl remains trapped in the nightmare. It states that not everything the player sees can be trusted, which suggests that what appears on screen may not always reflect what is real within the story.
