A generic metroidvania that happens to have a very original theme. You're Ebenezer Scrooge at the end of A Christmas Carol, after he turned good after his visit by the Christmas ghosts. Now, there are other ghosts causing trouble, and it's time to deal with them.
The theme is original, but the gameplay is generic and mediocre. It's not BAD, but it's not GOOD. I really like the Christmas theme (I have a thing for Christmas decorations and such), but the gameplay just isn't that good, and same with the music. So I lost interest.

It took me two attempts to beat this game, since the infamous game-eating glitch got me halfway through the first time. When I liked this game, I really liked it. But the constant glitchiness (including a boss battle that could glitch and become unplayable if the boss reached the right side of the screen) made it VERY hard to love.
Bah Hum glitch
Managed to platinum it out of spite. Graphical bugs, inexplicably inconsistent missing music, constant crashing in certain parts of the world. An interesting concept can only take you so far.
