In Santa's Sweatshop you play as a young man who is visited by one of Santa’s elves and transported to Santa’s Workshop. It would be any young person’s dream come true, apart from the forced labour, sexual servitude and punishing restraints, I suppose. There are 13 endings to find. 

Features:

  • Choose an avatar for your character!
  • Images depicting NPCs, AI-generated using Generated.Photos.
  • Manage your stats - Arousal, Corruption and Suspicion - to avoid being punished.
  • Explore Santa's Workshop, filled with randomised events!
  • Meet an NPC with a quest to complete, leading to two possible endings!
  • Deal with elf encounters through persuasion, seduction or running away.
  • Bondage and restraint mechanics, with consequences for gameplay.

Content warnings are in game. The game is an interactive fiction game which should take you about 30 minutes on a first playthrough. This version is a Twine port of the original interactive story at CHYOA.com

Enjoying your stuff as always! Do any of your CHYOA stories also have pictures to go along with the text?

Thanks for playing! I’m afraid they do not! Images take a lot of time to source or a lot of money to commission. Judging by the reaction to AI art below, it’s a lose-lose situation. This is all before getting into the ethics of various options.

Anyway, I think people prefer me to work on coding and writing so I can get new games out sooner.

That makes sense. I really enjoy your writing. My two cents is that I like what you've done with images here a lot, but I get the concerns with getting and making AI images. Regardless, I just played The Zhonghua Zero-Day, and it's really cool to see you making all these games and incorporating different gameplay mechanics. Thanks for the reply!

I remember the original game, quite fun to play. Thanks for remaking it. Not sure though if this AI art makes sense here - there is too little of it and not explicit at all. If you decided to use the AI art, you probably could picture most of the scenes, not just a few portraits.

Thanks! The trouble with AI art is the ethical sourcing of it. The only viable option at the moment is Generated.Photos, which isn’t good at NSFW and has quality problems.

Well now!  I really like the new elves.  I just wish that the elf you seduce on the production floor was the same as the one that visits that night (for no other reason than my own head-canon).  Also, is it my imagination or is Nick not the same from the first time you meet him to the Victory screen?  At first, I thought Nick and Kristan were the same person at the end.

Thanks for this Christmas present, the game is great. I wish you could also work in the other parts of the workshop instead of just at the production floor, like the stables. There are so many opportunities for expansion, maybe you'll get back to it sometimes.

Thanks Azurfan!
