Use Your Elfish Wits to Fix Santa’s Broken Hardware in a Holiday-Themed Virtual Reality Extravaganza from Incineration Productions!
SOFIA, BULGARIA (December 18, 2020) – Incineration Productions — a game studio comprised of powerhouse developers on the cutting edge of game design — is asking you to help save the holiday season in A Very Bad Christmas Eve, a virtual-reality puzzler that puts you in the curly-toed slippers of Santa’s hardest-working elf-gineer. A Very Bad Christmas Eve is available now for Windows PC via Steam and Viveport on VR platforms including Valve Index, the HTC Vive Series, Vive Cosmos Series, Oculus Rift Series, and Oculus Quest Series via Oculus Link.
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and Santa just left,
One elf alone, feeling bereft;
All of a sudden, a beeping did sound,
The machines were all breaking, but no one’s around!
His workboots he donned,
His toolbox was packed;
‘Twas up to him to save Christmas,
His knuckles he cracked!
A Very Bad Christmas Eve is a single-player action-adventure puzzle game from Incineration Productions, made exclusively for VR platforms, that tasks you with saving Christmas by fixing the various broken machinery in Santa’s workshop. As the last elf left in the shop on Christmas Eve, you’re about ready to “wrap” things up and head home for the night when alarm bells start jingling. It seems that the workshop machinery, critical to the successful delivery of presents, is breaking down, and you’re the only one left available to fix things — but the clock is ticking!
“We’re super happy to put our VR expertise to work on something fun and whimsical to bring some holiday joy to players this Christmas,” said Incineration Productions CEO, Gergana Gruncharova. “A Very Bad Christmas Eve is the perfect game to play on a cozy winter evening and will really kick that holiday-spirit into high-gear.”

In order to save the day and ensure Santa gets to where he needs to be and get all those shiny gifts delivered, you must repair the four critical machines in the workshop. Each machine has a running timer as well, so the sooner you drop that candy cane and pick-up your toolbox the better. The most urgent timer will be displayed on your watch, and a handy magic arrow will help point you in the right direction.
Critical Christmas Contraptions to fix include:
- RPS – Reindeer Positioning System
- Chimney Lube Diffusion System
- Emergency Gift Delivery System
- Unstable Wrapping Paper Materialisation Unit
- Tubular Gift Dispenser
- Wrapping Paper Pneumatiser
- Time dilation System
A Very Bad Christmas Eve is available now for Windows PC via Steam and Viveport for $4.99 USD, and supports most VR platforms including Valve Index, the HTC Vive Series, Vive Cosmos Series, Oculus Rift Series, and Oculus Quest Series via Oculus Link.
