This time, the stage is a mysterious Christmas town. +++Game Overview+++ It was supposed to be a normal Christmas Eve… You fell asleep at home, but when you opened your eyes, you were standing in a snowy town you’d never seen before. Then the nightmare began. Strange anomalies may appear throughout the town. If you spot an anomaly, head right. If everything looks normal, go left. To escape this strange world and return home, you must answer correctly nine times in a row. Will you really make it back? And what awaits you at the end…? +++Features+++ - Simple controls designed for mobile: Move left or right and tap to zoom.
