Unleash Scrooge's Ghostly Army in This Festive Christmas-themed Metroidvania

Get ready for the upcoming festive season with a unique and interactive twist on the classic A Christmas Carol. Introducing "Ebenezer and the Invisible World," a thrilling sequel to the beloved novel. In this 2D metroidvania adventure, join Scrooge as he faces off against the wealthy industrialist Caspar Malthus and his formidable Private Guard. Scrooge, now skilled in combat thanks to his life-changing journey in the original book, can even the odds by summoning helpful ghosts for assistance. Prepare to be amazed at how the confrontation with his past, present, and future turns Scrooge into a fearless monster-slayer.

Scrooge will receive assistance in his battle against Malthus from a diverse group of phantoms, each boasting unique abilities for exploring the dark corners of London and fending off malevolent entities. These include trapeze artists Rose and Flossie Reed, mountaineer Victoria Peak, and professor of time and space Haley Hall, among others.

With a Christmas twist, the game has a similar visual style to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The artwork is all done by hand and showcases intricate frame-by-frame coloring and animations. Until Konami decides to release a new installment in the Castlevania series, this game seems to perfectly fulfill the need for stylish combat and gothic environments to explore.

It's out now on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch, in case you feel like getting an early start on the end-of-year festivities.
