.~.~.~Notes~.~.~.
This is a fairly long Viovisian ZZT game where you assist Santa in his battle against the Krampus. If you haven't played PPDV/PPDV2 or any of the legendary ZZTer Viovis' other games and are unfamiliar with the genre, just know that the game is quite psychedelic. There IS a plot but it makes little sense and is interrupted many times by random non-sequiturs. Don't take anything too seriously. There's oodles of odd things that exist purely to add humour and/or shock value.

"Spoiler" warning: there's a subplot late in the game with art inspired by the legendary ZZTer and artist Zenith Nadir, which I guess is one of the big highlights, even if it also has arguably the most bizarre plot in the entire game (and the competition was stiff!)

Three of the four subplots in the court section of the game were made as BKZZTs - a style of ZZT game development where one picks a topic at random and then tries to haphazardly put together an entire ZZT game on the subject in an hour or less. As such, they are particularly nonsensical, as I was literally frantically making them up as I went.

Many thanks to Jvlfools, Lolwut, and Surlent for their invaluable feedback, which certainly improved a number of things about this game!
