A Christmas Game: The Sequel

A Christmas Game: The Sequel is a Quest interactive fiction game and is © 2017 by Luke A. Jones. It is, of course, a sequel to A Christmas Game, also by Luke A. Jones.

In this game, you again play as a homeowner on Christmas Eve. Although you have no money, you need to find the seven items on your shopping list and bring them home to have a Merry Christmas. Featuring Santa, Jon Pigeon, Gabriel, and the Three Wise Mice.

This solution is by David Welbourn.
