Oh hey these are incredible games. I'd love Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew if possible. Been meaning to check that game out for a while but never got around to getting it.

Here's a holiday memory for you: in my country it's traditional to put all your shoes by the door around xmas, as that's where Santa would leave the presents. So as a kid I hated throwing away shoes because clearly more shoes = bigger/more gifts. Like I'd get some new shoes and rather than throwing the old ones out I would just keep them til xmas that year and then get rid of them after they had outlived their usefulness on December 25th, lol.

I'd love Persona 4 Golden and Yakuze: Like a Dragon! Heard great things about both and adored P5R.

Favorite holiday memories are mostly around watching movies with the family. We always let my dad pick the movies on Christmas and he loves mysteries / detective stuff, so I've started to associate Sherlock Holmes with the holidays. There are a ton of spins on the character, so we've always got something new (or old and familiar) to watch!

One Christmas when I was younger, my brother and I decided to go tobogganing. We were staying over at a relative's place and, as we weren't familiar with the lay of the land, we had no idea where to go. But, being impulsive kids, we were sure we could continue this Christmas tradition of ours. As it turned out, finding a location wasn't a problem in our relative's hilly neighborhood; what was a problem was the snow: there wasn't enough of it. Because it's this kind of story, you can probably guess that we went tobogganing anyways, and as I can tell you, this is not something that I would recommend to anyone. Going down is rough, and falling off is simply not an option. We did it a few times until the wiser part of decided to go home, dragging our ruined sled behind us. But yeah, it was fun, and memorable.

Would like to request Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun if it is still available.

In my hometown, there was an event called "The Fantasy of Lights" every year, which my father's employer sponsored. It was an enormous park filled with extravagant displays of Christmas lights, put up by local institutions. We were broke, and couldn't afford Christmas decorations of our own, but I remember bundling into the minivan to drive through the display. We'd sing Christmas carols as we went, me, my siblings, parents and grandmother oohing and aahing over the lights. Then we'd buy candy canes from the convenience store and go downtown to see the huge Christmas tree they put up by the bank building. I guess, looking back, it was all a bit small-town corporate. But I don't have many memories of my family, and it's nice and even a little romantic to have one of us being poor and festive and happy together.

Thanks for the giveaway :)

Hello! I would definitely take Cavern of Dreams as I'm a massive fan of 3D collectathon platformers! As for Christmas memories, the most impactful would probably be as a young child (I don't remember how old lol) when my parents got me a PS2 for Christmas as well as the original Ratchet & Clank. Since then, the PS2 has become my favorite game console of all time due to all the great memories of it!

Legacy of Kain™ Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered.

For older memories, I'd probably have to say sponge cake, because Christmas was the only time I was allowed to have it. Three ingredients: store-brought sponge cut into cubes, a tin of berries and whipped cream. All layered and squished into a cake tin and chilled. The best part was eating it for breakfast on boxing day.

These days, Christmas is very relaxing and low-key, which is just the way I like it.

Thank you for the giveaway!

i would love total war pharao

Hmm I'm actually on holliday atm. i just saw a cuple of whales, blowing water and jumping out. what an amazing sight.

Thanks for your generosity! I would love to play Citizen Sleeper, if no one else has claimed it.

One of my favourite recent holiday memories was during COVID. I was bubbling with my future in-laws, who were also my neighbours. It was very relaxed, we prepped food beforehand, there was lots of cheese and dessert, and since we were all very close, no one felt the need to be on good behaviour or worry about being offended or make small talk. We watched some movies, played Nintendo, and it was one of the most relaxing holiday experiences I've ever had! Even though COVID was tough in a lot of ways, that was the perfect day, and it wouldn't have been possible without social restrictions. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to reminisce!

Entering with "Video Games" just so I can post this lyric:

Open up a beer and you say, "Get over here"
And play a video game

...always makes me think that Scorpion would make for a good snuggler.

I'd love Sable! Call of the Sea is my backup pick.

Game I'm looking forward to playing: A gift exchange santas gave me Constance, so that one.

Memorable holiday season game: Last year I was playing Dungeons of Hinterberg. It was definitely a memorable game, despite a few design weaknesses!

Unexpected gaming gift: When my internet friends gave me my first VR headset, the HTC Vive. I'd never have expected anything like that.

One year, I decided to buy and play Cthulhu Saves Christmas during the holiday season. I hadn't played the game it is based on and don't usually play holiday-themed games, but it was the right pick for the gaming mood I was in. It was number of years ago, but I remember being impressed by it and promising myself to play it again in the future; I think it would be to catch a different ending (which wouldn't matter now since I don't remember much about the game anyways). The thing that impressed me about it is how many corners were cut to make the game, and how flippant the game was about it. It seemed pretty obvious that crammed in the work to push this game out for a holiday deadline (a (mini-)RPG, no less), but it doesn't feel unworthy. Rather, the whole thing is a hoot, and the game dev let us in in the fun. I'd play it again, but it's on Switch, and I've mostly given up on that platform. Still, a good small Christmas RPG recommendation for anyone interested.

I am interested in American Arcadia or, if that is not available, then my alternate choice would be Sable. Thanks!

Thanks for your generosity! I'd love to see if your Starbound key works - I hear the modding scene is pretty good.

Would be keen for 'Into the Breach'. I almost always have a strategy game I dip into on the side, while I'm working through an RPG. And I love turn-based tactical games. Thanks for the giveaway!
