In some countries (mainly slavic ones, but I'm sure there's more around the world), the gift-giving is a new years tradition, whereas christmas is either celebrated at other dates (Jan 7 for cultures that still follow the Julian calendar), or feels more like a very religious holiday with fasting, feasting, prayer, and so on with no real gift-exchanging, or usually both at once. While I do see japanese characters in the title, 2 out of the 3 devs/publishers listed on Steam have VK as their listed social media, and that's "Russian Facebook," so they're probably slavic.
I had a Pikachu-tamagotchi as a kid, where you were able to give your Pikachu a "gift" too. Since "gift" is poison in german I was worried I would poison and kill my Pikachu.
It wouldn't really be a horror game if there wasn't unrefrigerated pizza sitting on a table somewhere. Happy New Year! Thanks Chris for all the work you put into our fun.
Same here. A TH-cam without Chris and I leave. He's terribly underrated. People that give his videos a chance, usually stay. Unfortunately indie horror is still a niche
Yes, I especially appreciate how he seems to put so much effort into his channel, he puts out content constantly and consistently usually 1 quality video a day if not 2! And these are often not short videos either. I don't know how he does it! I'm quite impressed.
You can tell that is a UK term. I had to pause and go “hold up” while I ran to Google lol. And I thought we had some odd names for it here in the States.
@stephweasenforth7891 I’m in the states as well and usually I hear people from New York or Jersey or Baltimore say scag. I’ve even heard Jamaicans say it lol
That was a bit silly, but also with EXCEPTIONALLY good jumpscares! I normally just ignore them, but this time really jumped a few times. I'm impressed! Happy new year Chris! May it be a good one
Happy New Year, Chris! Hope you had a lovely Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. All the best to you, and a wish for tons more subs for you. Game had some great jumpscares, but a strange premise. Nice that you got out, but bit of an odd ending. Thank you for playing it, and for one last game for 2024!
I don't even remember how long it's been since I've started watching your videos! They've been better and better ever since, even the boring game is pleasant to watch with tastful commentary. Heplped me a lot to learn English. Happy New Year!
Fun and scary game, made awesome thanks to your briliant commentry! Have a Happy New Year and thanks again for all the entertainment you bring, it really means alot!!!
I'm looking forward to a brand new year watching all kinds of videos from you! May you gather many new followers this coming year. You definitely deserve it!😁👍
*Goes to take bite of food* "Where's Santa's sack?" *Pause... Dial up internet noises... Retries to take a bite* "And no, not that one." *Full stop and Dial up noises intensify*
13:27 "We're gonna close the door... no, we're not. Santa was born in a barn." Oof, starting off strong with the classic digs. This is gonna be a good one, guys! Happy Holidays to one and all 😀!
That was worth it for the Japanese "Jingle Bells" alone haha. That jump scare at 26:55 nearly did me in. The game was laying on the creepy in spades and I just wasn't expecting a dumb ass jump scare like that lmao.
I wanted to personally thank you from the deepest depths of my heart. I caught some kind of wicked Flu, and it hit me HARD the day before Christmas Eve.. been fevered and sick in bed for days.. You have been the uplifting I was needing during my convalescence. You are beyond Brilliant! Thank you SO MUCH!
Me too, though I did get through Christmas, I’m now also sick with some kind of flu😅 get well soon, you guys! May we be well enough to celebrate new years!
Hi Chris, just wanted to let you know 10 Dead Doves released recently. I remember you liking the demo a couple years back. P.S. No, I'm not affiliated with the devs in any way. 😊
Well dang, Kyoshi and his brother are gonna be very upset they didnt get their Green Dinosaur and "Real" Train. 😂😂 (They were in Apartment 30) I was hoping it was the cat killer kid. 😅
Let us all rejoice in believing in Santa! Cause otherwise he will end in a shady workshop abandoned by unionized elfs (good for them, unionize!) that were payed with a slavewages.
I'm gonna guess that this game was made by a Russian. Their Santa delivers presents at New Year's. Their Christmas is January 6 on the modern calendar and is celebrated strictly as a religious holiday, not commercialized.
Sooooo.. that was one of the most anticlimactic endings I’ve seen on one of these games in quite some time. I kept forgetting this was supposed to be a “horror game,” lol also the plot didn’t make a whole lot of sense… like why you’re finding random toys on your shelf for you to gift these kids.. even the very naughty kids. The job listing it shows talks about being Santa to deliver the gifts.. so I was confused you were just rooting around the kinda junk toys to find whatever the kids wanted…. Just so many questions lol like why was this a thing for this one building… who hired you, what’s with all the missing children fliers, why a landlord would have you put up his tree and decorate it ? It just doesn’t feel like it was well thought out…. And other than a few cheap jump scares… there was little to no real atmosphere being set for horror… just felt like a little chore game or something. I duno.. but I found this disappointing tbh. I miss when you would play the classic games that we asked you too. Like RE or something cool and broad like dying light… subnautica… anything like that.
Eww I hate when Devs use any kind of extra movement or FOV bouncing when player walks..... this one creates an awkward, unnecessary bounce that's nauseating to watch & IDK how you got through this Chris!!
Technically it's a New Years Horror, since the place it is set in does things differently than the US. Christmas for them is more religious, fasting, ect and New Years is when they give gifts. 😂
Have you been naughty or nice this year?
A little bit from column A; a little bit from column B 🍷
@@Proxy-NGamble sounds familiar to me ;P
Just send us some coal please! it's cold here!
Chris! Behave!
Belated Merry Christmas and Advance Happy New Year CJU-san
i always enjoy new videos❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg that’s so funny. Little kid logic 🤣🤣
It wouldn't really be a horror game if there wasn't unrefrigerated pizza sitting on a table somewhere. Happy New Year! Thanks Chris for all the work you put into our fun.
I’ve been watching CJU since the beginning, under valued content creator. Chris you influence me to keep my dedication of horror brain rot binge. 😊
Same here. A TH-cam without Chris and I leave. He's terribly underrated. People that give his videos a chance, usually stay. Unfortunately indie horror is still a niche
Yeah man, I wish more people would watch his awesomeness
Yes, I especially appreciate how he seems to put so much effort into his channel, he puts out content constantly and consistently usually 1 quality video a day if not 2! And these are often not short videos either. I don't know how he does it! I'm quite impressed.
"i wish i had my sleigh..ughhh probably sold it for scag" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta love the commentary lol
You can tell that is a UK term. I had to pause and go “hold up” while I ran to Google lol. And I thought we had some odd names for it here in the States.
@stephweasenforth7891 I’m in the states as well and usually I hear people from New York or Jersey or Baltimore say scag. I’ve even heard Jamaicans say it lol
tbh, i did not expected a new game play at least untill early january. what a wonderful surprise, here we gooo.
That was a bit silly, but also with EXCEPTIONALLY good jumpscares! I normally just ignore them, but this time really jumped a few times. I'm impressed!
Happy new year Chris! May it be a good one
Happy New Year, Chris! Hope you had a lovely Christmas surrounded by your loved ones. All the best to you, and a wish for tons more subs for you.
Game had some great jumpscares, but a strange premise. Nice that you got out, but bit of an odd ending.
Thank you for playing it, and for one last game for 2024!
Only found your channel relatively recently and I'm so glad I have , great videos
Glad you like them!
WE ALL DO@@CJUGames
While CJU holding the Farmer Johnny's head,"Goodness gracious me" LOL
I don't even remember how long it's been since I've started watching your videos! They've been better and better ever since, even the boring game is pleasant to watch with tastful commentary. Heplped me a lot to learn English. Happy New Year!
the salty resignation in "no were not, cos santa was born in a barn" took me out completely LOL
This Santa is definitely broke. Feel sad for him
This one made no sense at all, but it was a fun watch. See you next year Chris!
Never clicked on a youtube video so fast in my life
Fr
Ikr
Same 😂😂😂
Late Christmas better than no Christmas any day
I love the Christmas indie horror games so much haha even the bad ones. My favourite time of the year to watch CJU!
The jump scares are pretty good. Usually I'm pretty hard to catch off guard.
The jump scare cam footage was everything 😂 Happy New Year, Chris! Happy New Year, everyone!
Fun and scary game, made awesome thanks to your briliant commentry! Have a Happy New Year and thanks again for all the entertainment you bring, it really means alot!!!
Your commentary cracked me up in this video. Very funny 😁. Happy New Year.
Was wondering what I was going to do while eating dinner. Thanks CJU
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Chris!
I'm looking forward to a brand new year watching all kinds of videos from you! May you gather many new followers this coming year. You definitely deserve it!😁👍

that wasn't santa that was a guy dressed up as sand delivering gifts that the kids cartakers hired
Yeah, the shadow on the wall looked like a clean shaved head. Perhaps it was some ordinary guy trying to be Santa.
Happy New Year, Chris! Thank your for your awesome job. Your videos are always entertaining and fun!
Chris, you should have paid more attention to the job listing on the wall @17:14! It seems to imply some important facts about the protagonist. :P
Nice Catch! Haha I went back and read it lol
That was worth it for the Japanese "Jingle Bells" alone haha. That jump scare at 26:55 nearly did me in. The game was laying on the creepy in spades and I just wasn't expecting a dumb ass jump scare like that lmao.
Bro that jump scare was actually insane
Happy New Year Chris. Congrates on the 150k subs. Let's hope 2025 brings a few more.
I'm kinda loving the latest trends of working-class horror: apartment living games and working at crappy job games. ^_^
Happy new years everyone
Congrats on 150k!
Happy New Year to you CJU!
I thought that guy standing in the corner of the hall was taking a piss 🤣
I wanted to personally thank you from the deepest depths of my heart. I caught some kind of wicked Flu, and it hit me HARD the day before Christmas Eve.. been fevered and sick in bed for days.. You have been the uplifting I was needing during my convalescence. You are beyond Brilliant! Thank you SO MUCH!
I caught some flu, too. It's pretty terrible but I'm not let it ruined my Christmas and end year's holiday. Get well soon!
Me too, though I did get through Christmas, I’m now also sick with some kind of flu😅 get well soon, you guys! May we be well enough to celebrate new years!
Me too on my birthday 14th Dec I've been ill ever since now a chest infection 😢. It's really doing its rounds this month. Get well soon. ❤
I’ve had the flue since early autumn pretty sure my immune system just packed and left me all alone😅
@@MissLisaBabyx Get well soon, and happy belated birthday
Thanks Chris. Your a legend mate.
Happy New Year CJU
Always appreciate the videos, especially holiday ones
I recognize that version of Jingle Bells. It's DEFINITELY from one of the Sailor Moon Christmas albums. It's Sailor Mercury.
Thanks for the video, merry Christmas and a happy New year)
Hi Chris, just wanted to let you know 10 Dead Doves released recently. I remember you liking the demo a couple years back.
P.S.
No, I'm not affiliated with the devs in any way. 😊
Day 2 asking CJU to play Amanda the Adventurer 1&2.
I hope we can get one more Christmas horror game before the end of the holiday season 😃!
Well dang, Kyoshi and his brother are gonna be very upset they didnt get their Green Dinosaur and "Real" Train. 😂😂 (They were in Apartment 30) I was hoping it was the cat killer kid. 😅
"Where's Santa's sac! No not that one" 😅😅😅
Loved it 😊 can't wait tell what you put next
Huh. I recognize June's apartment. Chilla's Art used the same apartment in Stigmatized Property...
Happy New Year can't wait to see what horror games you play this year in 2025.😸💙
The game is good, but the ending is a bit weak. Have a happy end of the year and a great 2025 🥰🎄
Wishing you a happy new year and happy holiday! Great games waiting ahead
Day 3 asking CJU to play Amanda the Adventurer 1&2.
Season's greetings, CJU! May you have a great one - cheers!
My only gripe is that you couldn’t pet the cat. Aside from that, 9.9/10 game. Weird and confusing in all the right ways.
Day 1 asking CJU to play Amanda the Adventurer 1&2.
why does Santa of all people live in such a horrible appartment.
This is from Welcome to Kowloon City game? No wonder I didn't like that game either. Happy 2025, CJU!
Christmas has horror events too
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Not sure which coubtry it is supposed to be in but if china its not elves but santa's sisters that make the toys
Pretty sure it’s just child labour over there 😅
good ol' hobo santa. Also the doll that was under the table is gone 24:39 😮
Love your videos bro
I've watched so many of your videos i recognize some of these apartments too lol
Let us all rejoice in believing in Santa! Cause otherwise he will end in a shady workshop abandoned by unionized elfs (good for them, unionize!) that were payed with a slavewages.
Oh no...Japanese chismas song.
No i cant unhear 'Padoru Padoru'
Loved seeing this video and that the title let me practice my katakana.
Jump scares are good! Happy holidays and may 2025 bring you more subscribers and a TH-cam frame. 👍🏾
Happy holidays to you and your family ♥️
Best gaming channel on TH-cam without a shadow of doubt ❤ also haven’t heard the word skag used for ages 😂😂😂
I can't believe that was 50 minutes.
Sandy claws.....
Can u do a series of indiana jones and the great circle?Love your content.
Happy New Year!!
Loved it even though I have been a bit naughty, lol ....The plethora of christmas trees at the end was excellent! Thanks Chris and Happy New Year!
Anyone else see the body that appeared for like a frame at 13:37?
Hi Chris 👋👋❤❤❤
I'm gonna guess that this game was made by a Russian. Their Santa delivers presents at New Year's. Their Christmas is January 6 on the modern calendar and is celebrated strictly as a religious holiday, not commercialized.
What is jalchenan?
When will the Miside video be up? (👀)
I always nice all year round.... Except 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31th December 😈
Hello !! 🐿️
What is Scag 😂😂😂😂
Yaaaaaaaaaaay 🎄
Sooooo.. that was one of the most anticlimactic endings I’ve seen on one of these games in quite some time.

Please play Refuted Wind
Eww I hate when Devs use any kind of extra movement or FOV bouncing when player walks..... this one creates an awkward, unnecessary bounce that's nauseating to watch & IDK how you got through this Chris!!
I'm just 10 min in but is this poor santa in limbo or purgatory? 😅
Perfect timing
Leta’s gooo!!!
I wanted to be the 69th like, I clicked and suddenly I was 86 lmfao
You're an amazing creator, please never stop!
Good Game!
Can you play the 2014 game Thief
Here 😊
Yay❤
A Chrismas game AFTER CRISTMAS?! Are you ok Chris?
Technically it's a New Years Horror, since the place it is set in does things differently than the US. Christmas for them is more religious, fasting, ect and New Years is when they give gifts. 😂
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
