BUILDCHRISTMAS

You decorate a North Pole village and keep a small elf workshop running underneath. The store description says you string lights on rooftops, trees, bridges and trains, then get sleighs loaded before Christmas Eve. That pairing — decorating on top, a light production sim below — is the whole pitch.

The public listing is Windows 11 64-bit only, English only, single-player, with 20 Steam achievements. Two curators had reviewed it on 13 Nov 2026. User reviews had not posted yet, and Metacritic still showed both scores as tbd. I am not turning that silence into a score.

Chinese storefront clocks showed 13 Nov 2026 for the same release the English listing dates as 12 Nov 2026. SteamDB and Metacritic agree with 12 Nov. I treat that as a timezone label, not two launch days.
