About The Children's Friend
The Children's Friend is a procedurally generated point-and-click adventure. You play as a rookie Santa, sent by your boss, Nikolaus, to deliver Christmas presents. Guided by the reindeer Vanderagg, you travel through a tunnel of the mind and fall into a child’s dream.
Deliveries in dreams
You have one hour, from 11:00 PM to midnight, to search a sleeping child’s soul, leave a present by their pillow and get out. Nikolaus assigns you five deliveries. You must judge whether each child is good—someone useful to society—or bad, someone who disrupts harmony and faith. According to the “True Book of Nikolaus,” good children should receive something they will enjoy, while bad children should be given a chainsaw, preferably with its sharpest tip moving at the highest possible speed.
Dream obstacles
Livestock, pets and parents wander through the dreams and can get in your way. Nikolaus considers them troublesome and unclean, though they may sometimes provide clues. Completing all five deliveries determines whether you become a high-class Santa the following year or face punishment from Nikolaus, who is known for being strict.
