Haven't gotten all the endings yet, but I thought this deserved a thumbs up for being something a bit different. It's more of a gamebook than a visual novel, with many choices and lots of descriptions but minimal visuals. There are dice rolls, but for most (maybe all?) of them, you can either randomize the result or choose to pass or fail automatically, allowing you to easily explore all the available options. While there are moments of action and absurdist humor, I kind of liked the low-key, down to earth vibe of the story. Just a normal family trying to have a normal Christmas in a zombie apocalypse, you know? The game is only available in German and is fully voiced, including the narration (which makes up the bulk of the voice acting, actually). The recording quality isn't the best, but it's always cool to see a VN with voice acting in a language other than Japanese or English. My German's far too rusty to read this without help.

About This Game
Christmas spirit during the zombie apocalypse: you could put on your Santa costume on Christmas Eve. But that's not all it's supposed to be. You roam through an abandoned shopping center in search of Christmas presents and a forgotten reindeer sleigh. When Christmas music lures zombies, you have to make momentous decisions.
You can expect seven endings, German voice-overs (with the original voices of the authors), and hand-drawn characters and backgrounds. A visual novel from the world of Zombie Zone Germany, a German literature and role-playing game series from Amrûn Publishing.
The Game is only available in German.
Since 2015, Amrûn has been publishing the Zombie Zone Germany (ZZG) book series. Author Thorsten Exter developed the overarching scenario: in the spring of 2020, Germany will be hit by a zombie apocalypse.
In the meantime, the view into a near future has turned into a world in an alternative timeline, which has been fleshed out and interpreted in individual ways by around 45 authors so far. Together, they have created a diverse anthology series with plenty of local color, from the Lüneburg Heath to Berlin. The book series currently comprises nine novellas, two anthologies and one novel. It will be continued on an ongoing basis.
Since 2021 we - some authors and a graphic designer - have been working on a roleplaying game (Pen & Paper) adaptation of the book series. We want to make the world described in the books playable and experienceable according to your own ideas. To this end, we have created a rulebook and a few short adventures, which we will take to role-playing conventions.
After we published a boxed game book - a solo adventure - in spring, we would like to surprise you with another interactive solo adventure for Christmas. This time you could not only read it, but also play it. Make your choices wisely.
And then tell us how you like it and what we can do better.
