Let me tell you the true secret of Christmas: Santa Claus died centuries ago. In ancient times, as the Gods began to die, Santa Claus married a goddess. She was worshipped as Bast in Egypt, Artemis in Greece, and Diana in Rome. She's been called a witch, a hero, an assassin. You call her Mrs. Claus.

In the Service of Mrs. Claus is a 188,000-word interactive fantasy thriller by Brian Rushton, where your choices shape the story. It's entirely text-based—no graphics or sound effects—powered by your imagination.

When Santa died, Mrs. Claus invested the power of Christmas in Santa's Heart, which she buried with him in a top-security tomb beneath Claus Castle. But now, someone has stolen the Heart. As Mrs. Claus's top-secret agent—her most trusted elf—you must go undercover to recover the Heart and reclaim Christmas from the forces of darkness.

Unveil the dark secrets of the Fae, conjure giant marshmallows and deadly candy canes, romance sweet friends and roguish villains, and contend with the mysterious Krinkle Corporation to save Christmas. In the final battles, decide whether to use your winter elf magic against the armies of darkness, or betray your mistress and join them.

• Play as a shape-shifting elf, fluidly changing gender, species, and form.
• Confront cults, gods, and giant corporations vying for Mrs. Claus's empire.
• Use magic on clandestine missions as Mrs. Claus's secret agent.
• Visit earthly children to determine their naughty or nice designations and presents.
• Decide the fate of Christmas and the Fae world.
• Discover the truth about Santa's death.
• Befriend or punish your enemies.
• Restore Mrs. Claus to power, betray her, or marry her.

Christmas is coming. Be prepared.
