### 4/5 — Christmas Stories 13: Clara & the Guiding Star by LynxMinx

*2024-12-28*

Warning! If any of you are squeamish about mice and hideous rats, do NOT purchase this game. It’s based on the Nutcracker. I didn’t like all those rodents, but still I bravely faced my fears. The general gameplay is enjoyable, with some innovative inventory usage. I liked the HO scenes, as well as the puzzles and games. The graphics are truthfully gorgeous. In the bonus chapter, it’s off to Catstown. I also detest cats. The game was on the short side, but at least Elephant did not put exclamation points on the map if there was not an action, as opposed to an objective. There was a slight lack of touchscreen sensitivity as well. 
So I’ll be fair in my rating. If there were no rodents, I would have rated it 5 stars. But there were, so my review will be 4 stars! 
Happy holidays, everyone.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. The next time we get a Mad Head, Friendly Fox agreed to give me what I want, so I picked which series. I don’t know when it will be or the title yet, but I can tell you it will be a Maze. That was a fabulous and unusual series, and if you love suspense and horror, be prepared to purchase it immediately! I’ll keep you up to date. Thanks everyone, for offering so much support to Friendly Fox!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the gameplay, puzzles, and graphics. We understand that the rodents weren't your favorite, but we appreciate you facing your fears! We'll make sure to continue providing the high-quality experiences you love. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! 🎮💖
