Cthulhu Saves Christmas

Cthulhu Saves Christmas is a fast-paced, comedic turn-based JRPG and a prequel to Cthulhu Saves the World. The master of insanity has lost his powers yet again, and the only way to get them back is to rescue Santa Claus from the League of Christmas Evil.

Cthulhu does not go alone. He is joined by the Snow Maiden, Baba Yaga-chan and Belsnickel, building R'lyehtionships with friends and foes through super-streamlined life-sim segments while fighting the League's villains, including the Krampus and the Mari Lwyd, in unique turn-based combat that lets you insanify your enemies and chain multi-character abilities.

The game is deliberately compact and brisk, with pacing that does not waste your time, running roughly four to five hours for a single playthrough on medium difficulty. Expect plenty of tentacles, more chickens than a Christmas game has any right to, and humor aimed at the whole family.
