About Tiny Stories: Santa Closes
DARK HUMOR ON A SNOWY BACKGROUND
Let's make one thing very clear, folks, this adventure is cute and short. As cute and short as Santa’s hot pants. Based on an unreasonable amount of puns, this absurdist mini-game also has dark overtones, an oaky aftertaste, and thoroughly complements a cosy winter afternoon spent doing crosswords. « Santa Closes » makes perfect entertainment material for someone looking to spend ten minutes in a Christmas World™ where cheer steers clear of the dear deers.
TO THE RESCUE !
Time is of the essence. Pingu - your best friend who, oddly enough, happens to be a penguin – just finished reading his TV guide. According to these utterly professional sources, Christmas must be saved by 8:00 PM… Hot on the holiday tracks of this mistletoe mystery, our Elf must uncover the squalid truth behind this well-beloved institution. But beware...if anything goes wrong Santa might change his sleighing ways to slaying ways.
I LOVE THE FRESH SMELL OF PINE IN THE MORNING
One thing leads to another, as it so often does, you will have to investigate the murky mysteries of this ho ho-so colorful holiday... in a monochrome world. With Pingu in tow, an emperor penguin who rarely lives up to his title on account of his anxious tendencies, your travels will take you around the block to visit some highly unusual suspects. Don't be the Santa Company's deadwood, be advised by the Touchy Tree ™️ ! Get into a war of words with the Dyslexic Reindeer ™️ ! Give the Gluttonous Yeti ™️ some food for thought!
What will save Christmas? Find out...before Santa closes!

yk what hell yeah
"Tiny Stories: Santa Closes" is a short demo, a point and click short story about Christmas, Santa and suicide. It's short, unambitious, and badly presented, with a bunch of badly written, contrived humour and not much else going for it. It failed to garner any significant interest from gamers. What do you do in the game? Point and click stuff, move around, unravel the badly written story and keep a straight face through the flat and unfunny jokes. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 15 minutes or less. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. On the important subject of visuals, this features fairly low quality stylised/cartoony low poly 3D graphics. It comes across as the kind of thing you see on mobile phones and Nintendo games, which will deter a lot of PC gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and to be considered one of the best games on Steam, the graphics have to be some of the best on Steam. That's not happening here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nast…
Fun but short
I found this game through a random steam game generator (the one Markiplier used in a couple videos) and it was a lucky pull I'd say! It's not mind-blowing, but it has charm. I like all the wordplay used in the solutions, and I'm impressed they were able to do this in multiple languages. The art and the sounds the characters make are cute too. It took me under 10 minutes, so unless the darker themes are a trigger for you [spoiler](tw: suicide)[/spoiler], there's really nothing to lose giving this free game a shot.
This game left me flabbergasted
Recommended. A little bizarre and twisted, but an interesting take on perspective. The presentation is minimalistic with a few laughs. The gameplay is simple and it's pretty short. Oddly, the audio seemed really low compared to other games, actually thought it was a silent game at first. Anyways, it's a quick laugh.
