I finished a game for this a few days ago but didn't report it here yet.

 

I got the of Ether One for the Las Posadas theme on the 21st, which means it qualifies for the bonus. It's also my third game for this event so I got the normal badge as well.

Unfortunately the game glitched on me and I couldn't get all 20 projectors. That's why I had to do a second playthrough to get that last trophy and the plat.

 

I'm also working on Punchline for the Thanks Giving theme. I'll be very thankfull when I'm done with that game.

Is it that bad? I have had my eye on it for a while (from what I understood it's mainly comedy, no?).

It's not that bad actually, just not really what I expected.

The story starts to get interesting but gameplay wise it is very repetetive. Most part is just reading like every VN but there are short gameplay section in between.

The most annyoing part are the unskippable cutsceens you have in each chapter. They are always the same and I watched them several times already.

I mainly bought it because it was from the guy who made the Zero Escape series.

 

Yes, story is comedy. It's about a boy who gets unconcious when he sees panties, which will lead to world destruction. Also he is a ghost.

Ok, then I will keep it on my list. Thanks for the explanation. 

 

I'm not sure why I initially got interested in it, but if you say that's by the same guy that made the Zero Escape games, then that's highly likely the reason why it got in my radar at the start too. Really liked that trilogy!

You can skip the movie scenes by pressing R1 + X.  Have to press and hold them though.  If that doesn't work, make sure the settings allow skipping.

 

Also of note, the second half is purely VN with a choice here and there.

No problem!  I know very well the game over sequence gets very repetitive since you have to get it 2-3 times per gameplay part to get all the panties.

[SpaceCoresDad]

Updated again. Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you were able to make it as merry and happy as I was. Joyous Kwanzaa as well! If you haven't gotten the bonus, this is your last opportunity for a long-running one that qualifies. Happy Boxing Day too... not sure if anyone is going to land that bonus, but hey, you never know.

[Alternatewarning]

I only have two routes left on P:C so I'm hoping to get those done by early next week and then that will be all 3 complete for me.  I know I won't be getting to The Ashen Hawk.

[FielVeredus]

Update:

United States Thanksgiving - Slay the Spire    (no more game fit for this category than this for me - It is very fun and unique game that i actually be thankful for whoever making this and also very unforgiving plat that I really glad it is finally be over with at the same time)
Hanukkah  - Storm Boy  
Boxing Day - I am the Hero  
Kwanzaa - The Shapeshifting Detective    (Have a black major character and you could actually be him as well)

Finished the bare minimum for a badge so I'll post that update. Going to try and get one or two more done before the end of the event....my current active games will take months to beat so I need to find something more casual.

Saint Lucia's Day (December 13th): Alice: Madness Returns

Black Friday (November 29th): Darkest Dungeon 

Of whole spreadsheet I found Darkest Dungeon being the toughest plat yet you managed to plat it in time. Congrats ?

 

Report with Skyrim and Little Dragons Cafe. LDC now officially has the worst "last trophy before plat" for me. To play postgame twice longer than pre-ending (ended around 30 hrs, platted at 91.30), doing repetitive chores, without knowing the actual requirements was a real torment. Good thing that I like the characters or else I'll outrightly hate the game.

Whew, managed to finish in time.  Period: Cube is 'done' but I'm not popping the plat until New Years.  AND I'll be putting the guide in for review now~

[blu3st4rdust305]

Still plugging away. Pretty much no hope of finishing them all, but 6/10 so far is not too bad.

[ladynadiad]

@SpaceCoresDad - Is it okay to swap completed games?  It's looking like I may actually be able to pull off the plat in htoL#NiQ - The Firefly Diary before this ends, but it obviously doesn't count for New Years since I earned my first trophy in it in 2016.  It would fit for Las Posadas just fine unless you count using boxes of explosives and a box with a killer plant as weapons for Boxing Day (I kid, I know that won't count even if it is a pretty literal interpretation there) or it would work for St. Lucia's Day and either of my games there were started during the event and would work for New Year's just fine. 

[MattbluePT]

2 games done, probably will do only one or two more:

 

Kwanzaa (December 26th - January 1st): Assassin's Creed Liberation Remastered (PS4) (December 29th)

New Year's Day (January 1st): Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time (PS3)

Edited December 30, 2019 by MattbluePT

[Han_the_Dragon]

Well, this is going better than I expected.. Specially since I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to plat AC Liberation this year (and was thinking that it was taking a lot of actual play time, but in the end it was just under 16 hours, on the game save clock.. Really odd). 

 

I will have to revise a few of the games that I choose, because they were kind of longshots to begin with.. 

 

As of now, I'm thinking of Persona 3 Dancing for Thanksgiving, because I'm always thankful for more SMT world action (and GT Sport is way to far away from plat), and probably Crystal Defenders for Black Friday, since money is needed for everything in it.. I will try to stick with Primal for Boxing Day, because I really need to clear that one from my backlog, and Jurasic Park will be a double deal like P3D for the ABC of unstarted games event. 

 

That leaves me without games for:

St. Lucia's Day - no clue.. Really can't think of anything that's relatively short and with a little girl as main character.. Said that, the main cast of My Hero One Justice is just kids, and a friend is going to boost it with me quite soon, maybe this will do.. 

 

Winter Solstice - Rise of the Tomb Raider, like GT Sport was an extreme longshot, and I can't really think of anything that would be relatively short with snow in it.. Actually I'm only thinking of I Am Setsuna, and that's definitely not going to happen in this short amount of time.. I will leave this as the tenth category, and will only challenge it, if I do get everything else, because just the other games alone, will take quite a while to do. Or maybe not, just remembered that rally games usually have lots of Snow, maybe that's enough? (I'm specifically thinking about Dirt 4).

 

My current standings:

Thanksgiving - Persona 3 Dancing in the Moonlight

Black Friday - Crystal Defenders

St. Lucias Day - My Hero One Justice

Las Posadas - Redout

Winter Solstice - Dirt 4? Degrees of Separation? Seasons After Fall?

Hannakkah - The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition ? (bonus)

Christmas - Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star ? (bonus)

Kwanzaa - Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation  (bonus)

Boxing Day - Primal... New Years Day - Jurasic Park (Tell Tales 4 Episode series)

Edited December 31, 2019 by Han_the_Dragon

[Dr_Mayus]

Well Fractured Minds is my last one for New Years Day and I will finish it on the 1st (I have one last trophy that will take me a few seconds to finish.

 

If I knew the 100% only takes like 6 minutes I would have done it all on that day...oh well

I'd actually suggest a VN.  It only has to be a young girl and most VNs have reasonably young female protags and are quick and easy to finish.  My own pick has a protag who is about high school age.

 

For Winter Solstice, have you played Code Realize: Wintertide Miracles?  It's a great choice for that category and very easy to plat.  Code Realize games in general would be a good pick for St. Lucia's Day too since Cardia is pretty young, even more so when you consider her life before meeting Lupin in the first game.  All the games are on sale right now too and I platted Bouquet of Rainbows and Wintertide Miracles in a few days.

Second game completed:

 

St. Lucia's Day: The Swords of Ditto 

Las Posadas (Bonus): Patapon Remastered
