Season's Greetings from The Smoke Room Team!

About

Season's Greetings from The Smoke Room Team! is a short, character-driven visual novel from Echo Project that follows the cast as they navigate holiday preparations in a modern-day alternate universe. Developed as a side story to The Smoke Room, the game focuses on slice-of-life moments filled with dialogue, light decision-making, and humorous interactions among familiar faces. Players will watch the characters decorate, exchange gifts, and deal with the chaos of hosting a Christmas gathering while uncovering minor plot threads and personal quirks. The story is presented through illustrated scenes, voice acting, and branching choices that influence relationships but don’t drastically change the outcome. What stands out is the game’s cozy atmosphere and affection for its characters. Though brief, most playthroughs take under three hours, it captures the charm of a small-group holiday gathering with dry humor and heartfelt moments. Available on PC, Linux, Mac, and Android, it’s an easy entry for fans of the main series who want more of the cast’s dynamics. While newcomers might find the context light, the self-contained story works as a standalone experience. With a 78% approval rating on Steam, it’s a low-effort but satisfying diversion for fans of narrative-driven indie games.
