Have you read 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Andersen? It's about a poor little girl who walks the street in the freezing cold on New Year's Eve. She fears going home; she can only long for the warmth and happiness she sees through the windows.

This tiny game takes you and her a few days earlier: on Christmas Eve. Less tragic, but no less heartbreaking.

Follow her home and grab the chance to gift her a few joyful moments. Arrange her 'treasures' to resemble what she wants and her strong imagination will do the rest.

. . .

Made for the Secret Santa Jam 2023 for juxjox by Eszter Várhidi.
Based on 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Andersen; inspired by 'Little Misfortune' by Killmonday Games AB.
