An Arctic Ambush! Santa Claus, the King of Christmas, has been murdered. Brutally butchered in his Throne Room on the North Pole. Our dynamic duo of deduction and delinquency, investigative journalist Deliria B. Murder and the undead detective Skullbert 'Skully' McSkullface, arrives to the scene in a timely manner, ready to get to the bottom of this scandalous scoop and most-likely-illegal impalement. Suspects abound from dissatisfied elves to flying reindeer, not to forget the possible marriage trouble with Mrs. Claus. Luckily, the CIA is already digging through the crime scene, so you can be sure the investigation is in good hands... Right? Something rotten on the North Pole Play as the main character duo and put all (or at least some) of your journalism and detective skills to good use. Do a bit of digging around and interrogate the North Pole residents to learn about their secret goings-on and grievances. Find answers to all the questions you've ever had* about Santa's operations! How are the work conditions for Santa's elves? How do the reindeer fly? How's Mrs. Claus liking the life of an Arctic matriarch? Shouldn't a murder be written down somewhere on Santa's famous naughty list? Yuletide Regicide is a short comedic visual novel crime story with hand-drawn graphics. It's a game full of funny characters, conspiracies, and Christmas jeer – everything you need to get into that festive mood for the holidays. Solve the murder, save Christmas**! *Unless you had more questions. **Results may vary. 


Notes: As a murder mystery, the game includes murder and cartoon violence.
