A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


A Nutcracker Tale is a visual novel game created by kipursuit based on the classic story of The Nutcracker, where you play as the character Clarise to help the prince recover the Christmas star, or be faced with a curse. Wander in the world of the Christmas Wonderland Kingdom to help piece together the needed star by the deadline. 



  • Interactive story with choices 
  • Re-nameable main character (Clarise)
  • Demo: Estimated gameplay of 15-20 minutes
  • Full-Game*: See question under Q+R



Clarise Drosselmeyer, the character's perspective you will be playing through who is less than enthusiatic about Christmas this year.

Prince Oren of the Christmas Wonderland Kingdom, who needs your assistance in some way and could use a much shorter title.



Other characters, who are to be revealed throughout the story: a witch, fairies, innkeepers, just who else is there? 




Q: When will the full-release of A Nutcracker Tale be released?*

R: I have no clue honestly! (Depends on my free-time, motivation, and energy :) 

In the case of a full-game version is released, there are a lot of features I would like to add to make the experience interesting and fun! There would possibly include: character stats bar, image gallery, in-depth story choices, and more!

I really like this story, but it ended suddenly :').
However, there is a lot of work on it. Congratulations!

Thank you! ^^

This was a cute demo!

First, I enjoyed the artstyle, as it felt reminescent of 80s shoujo, style that I personally appreciate a lot! The colours were also very sweet, and Oren somehow even looks candy-like to me!

The personalised elements of the GUI (main menu, textbox and choice boxes) were all gorgeous!!! Same with the chapters' cards!

Now, the story has just started, so I can't really say much yet, but I have to say I'm very curious about where it'll lead us and how Clarise and Oren's relationship will develop! So far, I enjoyed the glimpses at their personalities and am curious to see what trip awaits them, and what the conclusion will be!
