If you're not a fan of being all jolly and festive at Christmas time, Tamashii could well be the ideal solution for having a somewhat alternative holiday this year.

The game, which has been inspired by obscure Japanese games from the '90s and late '80s, is set to terrify a Switch near you on Christmas Day. It's been described as a "unique puzzle-platformer set in a distorted world of striking horror and unsettling imagery".

We've got a quick blurb and feature list for you below:

An eldritch entity lurks inside the temple, a disturbing domain of death and danger. A mysterious stranger is summoned to this twisted hell to discover the source of evil that emanates from within. Can you survive the devilish traps, tricky puzzles, and monstrous beings looming in Tamashii’s dark corridors?
