The Best Gift There Is

The Best Gift There Is is a short horror game set in a snowy maze. There is no map. There are no clues. The only thing you have are your footprints on the ground, which you used to mark the places you have been.

The Best Gift There Is Game Story

A strange invitation on Christmas Eve

You receive a note on your doorstep on Christmas Eve, with no sender's name. Just a note: "Enter the maze. The best gift is in the center."

Instead of staying home alone, you decide to go. Even though the note seems sketchy, it is at least more intriguing than being alone during the holiday season.

Maze, snow and footprints

You wander through dark corners, reading a few anonymous notes hanging in the air. One of them reads, "Don't come here alone." You begin to feel uneasy because you came here alone.

A Giant Bird

What is silently following you is a bird-like monster—big, black, and scary like a dark version of Big Bird. It doesn’t appear right away. It only comes when you feel the safest.

Three endings in Hungry Lamu 2

• Ending 1: You find a gift in the center of the maze—a piece of paper: “You’re alone. I’ll be your friend.” There’s no way to run. The monster appears behind you. You’re caught. “I need a friend”—it says.
• Ending 2: You’re trapped in the middle of the maze. No one hears your screams. No one finds you again.
• Ending 3: You run. Don’t look back. Don’t be lured by footprints or shortcuts. And you escape. But a few hours later, news spreads about missing people—all living alone, all last seen near the old maze.

The Best Gift There Is takes on the theme of loneliness and the instinctive fear of being watched, especially during the holiday season when everyone has a place to go and you don’t. The repetitive footprints, the internal dialogue, and the moments when you can’t turn back all make the game a short but lingering experience. If you were haunted by Hungry Lamu 2, where innocence is twisted into horror, this game will leave you with a similar feeling of emptiness after the screen turns off.
