Ever have one of those holidays?

Former police officer and private detective Sanya K. Vaffelzscki just wants to spend the holidays with her comrades out west. Some turkey and eggnog. Not a lot to ask, right?

Unfortunately, some festive terrorists have their own holiday plans.

A cult lead by God's Greatest Gift has taken over the frozen northern reaches of the Republic of Aysburg, and are hijacking all communications - TV, cellular, even parts of the internet - to spread their idea of holiday cheer.

Fortunately for Sanya, she's proficient in most firearms, and has an undying flame in her heart - to eat turkey with her friends at Christmastime, or die trying!

Saccharine is a violent over the top romp through the holidays.

Cool Features!

  • Eight weapons to kick festive butt with. The candy cane shiv and your 9mm pistol are just the beginning - get the huge four gauge (or is it four guage?) shotgun, a "less lethal" foam dart gun, explosive Christmas crackers, missile-toe launchers, and BB guns. Lay waste to the holly jolly eviltons!
  • Six sizeable levels. Start at an abandoned truck stop and make your way to the northwest through the city streets and malls, and the snowy tundras of the true north.
  • A plethora of evil enemies! Not-so cuddly living teddy bears with shotguns, brainwashed elves with candy cane guns, possessed reindeer that glow so bright, demonic wreaths... and the dreaded cheese police, just to name a few.
  • Hand drawn Flash sprites and pixelated textures make for a neat aesthetic reminiscent of flash animations from the 90s and 2000s.
  • Funny gags and references hidden throughout.

From the creators of Project Absentia, Saccharine is a tasty throwback of the violent sort to Christmas specials of days gone by.

I started it yesterday. I forgot how Doom-like games could be so fun! And this in particular is VERY funny! Almost like playing a good Postal 2 session :3

I passed this Game!

Although it seemed Short and Simple to me, even with High Difficulties, I spent a good couple of hours of gameplay! I can say one thing: The Christmas Spin-off for "Project Absentia" was a success!

Besides, I was waiting for its Full Release for the Christmas Review, which I have just written (In Russian: DoomGuy.Ru)!

appreciate your support!

Starts to load on gzdoom on Delta Touch apk but has 8 errors and won't work.

Delta Touch is not supported, sorry.

Scratch that. Try it now. It runs with GZDoom 4.11.3, so if Delta Touch supports that, should work now.

I've updated Delta Touch which updated gzdoom and it works but griddle.pk3 doesn't work.  Great game, thank you. 👍

griddle.pk3 is our gzdoom fork, no need to load it with gzdoom or delta touch. Glad it worked for you regardless.
