A downloadable game for Windows

The first game by Team Scrungy!
Made as part of HPS1's Madvent collection 2022.

Welcome to YuleTown! You move into a strange little town in the middle of snowy nowhere, and it appears to be populated by Yule legends from all around Europe. The trouble is, you have to get everyone a present for Christmas, and Christmas is tomorrow!! 

Wander the town, get to know your new neighbours, help them out, and maybe you won't get eaten by Krampus the next day...

In this Christmas adventure, you will meet:
  • Mari Lwyd- the singing ghost horse, a tradition in Wales. She goes door to door, and if she out-sings you, she will drink all of your alcohol
  • Saint Nick and Krampus- We all know them, but did you know they are sometimes portrayed working together? so that is implying Santa sees Krampus eating children and is just like, cool with it.  messed up.
  • Saint Lucy- a saint commonly celebrated with candles and songs in Scandinavian countries. She is often depicted holding a plate with her eyes on it.
  • Yule lads- 13 troll like characters who often get up to mischief and stealing, of Icelandic origin.
  • Schnabelperchten- a strange bird like old lady creature who goes to each house to check if its clean. If it isn't, she'll cut your head off with her large shears! Originated from Austria.
  • Jack Frost- He's a mischievous spirit who brings the cold into winter. He also likes to paint the pretty fractal patterns into the ice. 
  • Julbocken- Yule goat, he is...a goat. In Scandinavian countries, a straw goat is burned to celebrate.
  • Yule cat- An enormous cat that is the pet of the Yule lads.
  • Tio de Nadal- A festive log with a happy face. Traditional character from Spain. It poops out gifts.
  • Baba Yaga- the russian witch of the forest. Her house has chicken legs and walks around and is really cool. She is sometimes said to hunt naughty children and steal their presents.

Warnings:

the game is mostly harmless, but has bad language and a bit of edge to its humour. Its silly and childish humour, but it is not for kids.

music is a bit loud at some parts (sry lol)

A very charming game with a great cast of characters. That main menu theme did creep me out and made me think this was gonna be a horror game lol 😅 But overall after beating the game, I found myself really enjoying the experience. Great job guys! Ya made something special here 👍

Great game, really good looking character sprites. It was cute. My friends came over to play Christmas games, and in the middle of this one, their butts got tired of sitting in chairs, and we walked in the snow. It was way too cold. Then I took them home and when I came back I beat the game. They demanded I report to them whether Santa and Krampus are sleeping together or not.

I enjoyed playing this so much! Loved the humor as well as the unique characters! (Yulecat is absolutely precious!) Well done!

Hi! I played this game on another account on my computer, after seeing kubzscouts play it- and I absolutely loved it! Such a good Christmas game and I loved the slight horror. Considering the julbock and saint Lucy, I’m guessing you are Scandinavian (I could be wrong of course!) Im Swedish myself, and I was just wondering what Scandinavian country you are from, if you are Scandinavian. Lots of love!

we are all European, I (sunny) am from England, Lund is from Sweden and Maya is from Spain. We wanted to have as much references to traditional Yule mythology and stories as we could! Theres so much fun and interesting things to learn in European cultures and I wanted to share it. It was really fun to learn about each figure and come up with my own designs for them. Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it 💙

I absolutely loved your game! It had the perfect elements of cute and veiled threats of murder! You have done this proud!

I played your game through the Madvent calender!
