Learn the true secret of Christmas: Santa Claus has been dead for centuries. In ancient times, as the old gods faded, Santa married a goddess. She has been known as Bast in Egypt, Artemis in Greece, and Diana in Rome—called a witch, a hero, an assassin. You know her as Mrs. Claus.

"In the Service of Mrs. Claus" is a 188,000-word interactive fantasy thriller by Brian Rushton, where your decisions shape the entire story. This text-based experience, without graphics or sound, is powered entirely by your imagination.

After Santa's death, Mrs. Claus placed the power of Christmas into Santa's Heart, burying it with him in a high-security tomb beneath Claus Castle. Now, the Heart has been stolen. As Mrs. Claus's top-secret agent—her most trusted elf—you must go undercover to retrieve the Heart and reclaim Christmas from the darkness.

Uncover the dark secrets of the Fae, conjure giant marshmallows and lethal candy canes, romance sweet companions and cunning villains, and compete with the enigmatic Krinkle Corporation to save Christmas. In the final battle, you must choose: wield your winter elf magic to defeat the armies of darkness, or join their ranks and betray your mistress.

• Play as a shape-shifting elf who can change gender, species, and form at will.

• Battle cults, gods, and massive corporations seeking to overthrow Mrs. Claus's empire.

• Use magic to carry out covert missions as Mrs. Claus’s secret agent.

• Visit children on Earth to judge if they are naughty or nice...and decide their gifts.

• Determine the fate of Christmas and the entire Fae world.

• Discover the truth behind Santa’s death.

• Befriend your enemies or add them to your naughty list.

• Restore Mrs. Claus to power, betray her, or become her spouse.

Christmas is coming. You'd better watch out.
