Steam and GOG have begun distributing digital copies of the game Holiday, a title that invites players into a traditional Russian feast setting. The release details come from a DTF report.
The game unfolds as a compact narrative experience set inside a single apartment adorned with a classic Soviet atmosphere. The plot follows Xenia as she visits her mother and finds herself unexpectedly swept into a family celebration, where drinking and toasts become central activities.
Throughout the experience, players guide Xenia through conversations with every guest, decide when to offer toasts, and determine whether to listen, drink, or steer clear of potential friction. The choices players make shape the immediate dialogue and influence the course of the gathering, ultimately deciding who attends the party and what outcomes unfold for them.
Developed by the Russian studio Sever, Holiday is described by the creators as a short dramatic piece. A DTF feature notes that the experience can be completed in roughly thirty minutes and that there are six distinct endings, encouraging multiple playthroughs to uncover all outcomes.
The title is available on Steam and GOG, with Holiday offered as a free download. Players can also purchase a range of optional add-ons to customize their experience or unlock additional content.
