Evaluation

Roman's Christmas launched on February 19–21, 2020 as a complete detective adventure game featuring 5 interconnected cases. Following launch, the developer released several quality-of-life patches through mid-2020 — adding a chapter select feature, a gallery, and fixing the English translation — and a soundtrack DLC on February 20, 2020. These represent standard post-launch polish rather than new story content. The developer's last substantive communication was a one-year anniversary post on February 19, 2021. A November 2021 sale post mentioned that a new game called Dragon Island was in progress, which signals the studio's attention had shifted to a new project rather than continued development of Roman's Christmas. There is only one DLC listed (the soundtrack, which has been released), no unreleased DLC, no announced expansions, and no roadmap for additional content. The game launched as a self-contained, narrative-complete product. The developer has not communicated any plans for future content, and there has been no developer communication of any kind since November 2021.

About this game

This is a detective game with classic gameplay and brand new stories, while all the characters are fuzzy animals!

If you encountered lags in game, please close your anti-virus software, click the "语言" in the title menu and change your Display mode.

You play as Roman, a detective who wishes to have a decent vacation at a small tavern in the suburbs. 13 travellers gathered here because of the heavy storm, and mysterious cases happened one after another...... In order not to spoil the hard-earned vacation, you must solve the cases and bring harmony back to the tavern.

There's 5 original cases in the game, and they are connected to each other.

There is nothing new under the sun. However Apollion is quite a brave new world compared to the human world. Talk to the travelers to find out more about this country where all kinds of anthropomorphic animals live together. You can even enjoy throwing darts and guessing cards in the tavern.

Your fate is affected when making choices, so better make them good. BTW if you happen to have the power to rewind time, please use it wisely.

We also have various methods to help you resolve the cases.

All detectives heavily depend on evidence. Please thoroughly go through each room of the tavern, inquire everyone for information.

As a wolf detective, Roman has his special perk — sniffing. Since we couldn’t afford making devices that can let you smell the scent of crime scene, we strongly suggest you to purchase a piece of meat and sniff it when it comes to the sniffing part — just kidding. We designed a way to visualize scents, so that you can solve cases with your nose.
