About

Last Christmas by polytely games is a point-and-click adventure released April 22, 2023. Set around a family cottage during the holidays, it follows Frankie as he navigates quirky puzzles and dialogue choices to create a memorable Christmas for his girlfriend Betty. The gameplay mixes inventory-based problem solving with narrative decisions that subtly shift the story's tone. The game blends cozy holiday aesthetics with a slow-burning mystery about the cottage's past. Player choices affect outcomes but not in overtly branching ways, small details resurface later to reframe earlier events. Available on PC, Linux, and Mac, it’s a 5-7 hour single-player experience with a 7.5/10 rating on Steam from 1,200 reviews. The twist on seasonal cheer feels fresh without overcomplicating the classic adventure formula.
