Christmas Eve is a Ren'Py kinetic novel by Jonesy. It follows a single father and his stepdaughter, Evelynne, on a road trip before Christmas. A snowstorm forces an unplanned cabin stay, and the story blends romance, voyeurism, and teasing as the father faces his changing relationship and grieves his late wife. The visuals use 3DCG art.
The current build is v2.0.0, released April 26, 2025, and development continues with this update. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android in English, with no censorship. The update cleans up image noise and switches the picture library to .webp files to reduce size. It also revises the script: grammar, viewpoint consistency, story wording, continuity between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day, and added hints that connect the two tales.
Developer's description
Christmas Eve is the story of a single father (MC) and his stepdaughter,
Evelynne who are on a road trip just before Christmas.
They end up making an unscheduled stop during a snowstorm and stay in a cabin for a few days.
Romance blooms as the dad not only struggles with the changes in the relationship between him and his stepdaughter,
but also finally starts to come to terms with his late wife's passing.
v2.0.0
The first and most obvious change is to the images. They are now de-noised (for the most part). This may be more obvious to those of you on a desktop or laptop, but I think the change is striking. I also converted the entire image library to .webp so it takes up a lot less space.
The next change is to the script. I did make a LOT of corrections. I fixed a bunch of grammatical errors as well as all of the switches in perspective from 3rd person to 1st and back again. I also made some changes to the story. I added a few continuity corrections between CE and NYD. I also threw in a few subtle hints and foreshadowing elements to help tie the two stories together even more. I also made some stylistic changes to some parts just to make the wording flow a little more smoothly.
Finally, I reworked the UI a bit and added a gallery. The gallery images unlock as you play through the game. Oh, and by the way, before you ask:
OLD SAVES WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS VERSION!!!
...and neither will the mods for v1.0, or at least I don't think so.
Overall, I think this is a much more polished version and it will be the canon that I base my further development from. However, you will still be able to get v1.0 on my Patreon and Subscribestar pages. I know a bunch of you have modded that version and enjoy it that way.
Things I did not do:
Change relationship statuses (as they are integral to the story)
Redo the “animations” into "real" animations (although I did smooth out what was there a little)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy what I've done. I continue to be surprised by how much people like this story. I mean, I like this story, but I'm more than a little biased.
Let me know what you think in the comments. If I made any mistakes or something isn't working correctly, let me know.
Thanks!
Love y'all

Jinkies!2026-01-15★★★★★
An excellent incest game. The story between the daughter and father was very good. The animations were pretty good. The pacing was a little on the slow side but otherwise great. The sister, friend, and family friend were also attractive…

I'm guessing the high rating are because of the barely legal loli. The renders are very pretty, but zero animations. The sex scenes are just a slide show of images. The game follows a linear kinetic storyline, you don't get…

A short but good game. I played it as step family instead of with the patch. The art is pretty decent even if the females are pretty stylized. The blonde is supposed to be 20 but looks like a young…
