Two Fun Facts:The Mare is based off a Welsh tradition,the Mari Lwyd. Basically it’s a horse skull in a cloak that goes around houses singing. The person inside then needs to sing reasons why the Mari Lwyd can’t come inside. If they fail,the Mari Lwyd gets to break into their house,eat all their food,and drink all their beer Oh,and the False Caroler was drawn by Trevor Henderson
1: A weird, horse skull monster who, if I don't sing reasons for it to *bleep* off, will trespass into my home and eat all my food? (Which, in other words, will eat all my hamburgers and honey glazed ham, food that I love). That sounds less like a danger and more like an annoyance. Honestly, one of the few times I'm ok with HSH handling it instead of introducing it to a family heirloom. 2: Explains why that thing looks like it could live rent free in my nightmares, although it is tame compared to some Trevor's other works. (Hi, Siren Head and Cartoon Cat). This game's version of Krampus terrifies me more, mainly because of its appearance.
i thought about this game every once in a while, it was really unique for me and honestly somehow reminds me of this other game where you're a hotel worker and theres evil plushie bears hunting you down, and you actually have to run away from them by switching your screen around, fnaf 4 style, i didn't see much of it but it somehow stuck into my head much like this one. happy to see more of this sweet feeling
@@Kingcole6 exactly. At first i was a bit disappointed to see it wasn't what i expected, and there was no big twist. But then, i learnt to appreciate it for it's originality.
@@xm214-aminigun9 Agreed. While the main game's ending was hilarious because of how much of a sudden tonal shift it was and how cheap it looked, this one just looks like a simple office party that happens to be have some weird stuff in it. The Hobb grabbing the camera and proceeding to get plastered, for example. Yet, despite that, it still manages to be weirdly wholesome because it doesn't show anything supernatural happening nor any rituals of any kind; it's just people enjoying a good time and celebrating. Considering what Rebecca, and by extension, the player, went through to get there, I say we have earned it.
@@Kingcole6 haven't watched this one yet myself. For the first one, i expected some sort of ending where, like uhh, I don't know they try to put my consciousness into a pc and make me an eternal slave or it turns out the very system that reports these to us is an anomaly itself or something. I've been addicted to twists, too far to appreciate simple writing.
That explains why it looks like something from the same dimension as Siren Head/Cartoon Cat. Edit: Sadly, to my knowledge, it isn't Trevor Henderson, but an artist named Omega Black, who's art is the stuff of nightmares.
I like how the fey terrors of beyond can be just as terrifying as an avalanche or rodent infestation. it makes the Home safety hotline like a swiss army knife where "Demon eating children" or "eternal labyrinth of the summer king" is just as reported as poor house cleaning or carbon monoxide poisoning.
What a coincidence, I just rewatched your original playthrough yesterday because it was such a unique experience. Really glad to see there's more of it, great seeing more unique horror games hit this channel and find some small success.
Uh oh, the Skaven are out and about making trouble this holiday season! Remember to get plenty of :ratJAMs: in chat if you're streaming this holiday. Happy Yuletide!
So, the holidays have finally come to the world of Home Safety Hotline... A time of cheer, laughter, and of stuff even weirder than usual to enter our world. Stuff ranging from golems made from snow, a hag that gives gifts (very crummy gifts, at that), Krampus, horse skull beasts that'll trespass into people's houses and eat all their food, and even this world's version of jolly old Saint Nick. While our unnamed hero is nowhere to be seen, likely because of their promotion to junior supervisor, we gotta help another employee named Rebecca. Our job is simple: give the callers the right info, save people, and most importantly, save Christmas before it's too late for the entire world 'cause if cheer levels fall low enough, there might not even BE a tomorrow. So much for having the holiday off. This Christmas Office Party better be worth it...
This game seems designed specifically for this channel. I really like it. It's like an interactive and very original piece of analog horror with its own folklore.
Not sure how you told the difference between an Avalanche and the Mountain Warlock when the warlock seemingly causes avalanches, I must have missed something there.
4:00 Imagine calling for an electrician and hearing that basically the christmas tree's hardware is incompatible with your christmas lights' software and you need to dump the entire tree and buy a new one.
I head canon that the people you send The Twilight package to read it and just have a "oh..." and move on with their lives and that's why cheer stays the same
This one didnt really work for me. One of the best things about the base game was the eerie build up of reading and sending facts about common household dangers likes pests and carbon monoxide which slowly escalated into cryptids. This one jumps straight into the supernatural. I also think the pictures in the first one were done better and had a more authentic 90s feel to them.
Yeah hello. I have a security problem here, there was a noise on christmas eve and when i went to check there was a man dressed in red eating cookies in my living room! When he noticed me he climbed the chimney. What should i do?!
Ok, so the game is pretty fun and full of Xmas jokes(or nods to yuletide traditions etc..). Seems like a blast. But some of the solutions for the owners seem really, really weird. "You should appease the d***s conducting the foundation destroying ritual with gold or your firstborn". Sure, sounds reasonable😂. If they don't agree..just vacate your home. It's Christmas' Eve, should be easy finding a room. 😂
A running theme in this game is that the fae will kill you, your kids, your pets, or just ruin whatever you own and your only way out is appeasement. Makes ya long for some cold iron.
@@Notarobot1006 no i get it, i played the first instalment. Also, you are working for the faeries so it makes sense. It's just that sometimes the solutions seem really, really biased. At least try to present it as a good idea. I remember the ones, like false artifact and rose bush or what was their names, were you just said to a mother that lost their child:"well that's just the way it is, honey. Deal with it"
@@Eisenwulf666 Yeah exactly! It comes off as humanity being infested with supernatural bullies, tyrants, and straight up serial killers, and just having to constantly submit to them. Major downer of a setting.
HEY THERE UH... ALPHA BETA GAMER. I WAS JUST CALLING ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST UH HUH. WOULD BE A SHAME TO GET LIFE IN PRISON FROM MISSING YOUR CARS CENSUS RETURN UH HUHAH.

The ending was even better.
Instead of some dark thing, it was just a happy cult indoctrination.
@@xm214-aminigun9 Plus, it doesn't look unintentionally hilarious. It's funny and weirdly wholesome, in a way.

just wanted to say that i love the way you play games like this, even without commentary there’s so much expression in your mouse movements
This is one of the saddest comments I've ever read
The gag with the Hobb stealing the camera and then getting piss drunk was peak
Where was this
@@TheArtzyAnimal The end slideshow
@@teetree6661 oh ty
I bet this game is a goldmine of ideas for anyone that plays Changeling: the Lost or Changeling: the Dreaming. And maybe even Shadowrun, too.
Changeling: the Lost🔥🔥🔥
Yeah i can imagine a couple of runs with the targets being these creatures or even as npc working for some corpo
The guy who drew the Santa Klaus creepy pasta for this also did the cover for a book I wrote called We a living Failures
Was that Trevor Henderson? (Siren Head's creator) He did a lot of the artwork I think!
That explains why it looks like something from the same dimension as Siren Head/Cartoon Cat.
Edit: Sadly, to my knowledge, it isn't Trevor Henderson, but an artist named Omega Black, who's art is the stuff of nightmares.
I swear this game would fit perfectly in the World of Darkness universe.
Changeling: The Dreaming?
I like how the fey terrors of beyond can be just as terrifying as an avalanche or rodent infestation. it makes the Home safety hotline like a swiss army knife where "Demon eating children" or "eternal labyrinth of the summer king" is just as reported as poor house cleaning or carbon monoxide poisoning.

There's a small fae getting fucking smashed on what I believe is fruit punch, I'd go through a Hunt and get SHROOMED just to be here.
@@NIHIL_EGO I would too. As long as the hobb stops trying to steal the camera.
Also, 90% sure someone spiked that punch.
Now that's a intro with them special effects.
Man, you really liked that Yule Cat noise 😄
Forgotten Bogart? I don't remember that being in the original...?
I don't remember leaving this comment...??
@@omegahaxors9-11 It's ok. I don't remember half the comments I leave and some of them are from YEARS ago.
Ayyy glad to see Carol again
Especially before Christmas
Ayyyyy

Now i need a Hudson/pest removal team dlc
I love that series has returned! The lore and voice acting are so much fun!
love the bass groove on the holding music
Ooooo! What a treat! Seems like Christmas came early this year, huh?
The ref at the pôle express Love it
1:02 Rodney, try as he might, attempts to sort the mess of cables coming from servers, but he should know that the CABLES WILL ALWAYS WIN.
Man, the bgm at the opening was sweet enought to pull me in.
Not sure how you told the difference between an Avalanche and the Mountain Warlock when the warlock seemingly causes avalanches, I must have missed something there.
The Mountain Warlock call felt less urgent than the actual avalanche calls. Plus, you can kinda hear the chanting of the Mountain Warlock in it.
This asks the big question... is santa an scp?
That definitely checks out!
That Old St. Nick ain't as jolly as we remember. Still looks better than this version of Krampus, though.
An anomaly, yes. There is no need to secure, contain, or protect that one though. 🎅🏻🎄
The freaking avalanche calls are so messed up but also hilarious! 😂
Hudson is the GOAT
4:00 Imagine calling for an electrician and hearing that basically the christmas tree's hardware is incompatible with your christmas lights' software and you need to dump the entire tree and buy a new one.
I can hear the SCP fans marching as we speak
Wait a second is the Hudson character voiced by Longmont Potion Castle?!?!?
Apparently, yes. Feels weird hearing him without the sound effects.
The Locomotive is literally just The Polar Express
The bad ending Christmas message sounds a lot like the one we get from HR.
I head canon that the people you send The Twilight package to read it and just have a "oh..." and move on with their lives and that's why cheer stays the same
Cracked open my last case of pepper squeeze for this video

WHY IS THE POLAR EXPRESS A CRYPTID
20:33 "If you kindly would stop dying from being crushed by a mass of snow for a while, that would be great!"
Clicked the notification immediately
41:23 Either he mistook the Gift Hag for his mother-in-law, or his mother-in-law *IS* the Gift Hag.
They made another one? How cool!
It’s rather frustrating how most of the “solutions” are to just let these things do what they want for the night. 😂
ABG. LOOK BEHIND YOU WHENEVER YOU GO TO THE CAMPFIRE, MAN!!! that friggin monster has like 2129-0 on you man i want you to at least kill it once
I need to call the Home Safety Hotline for advice on how to deal with it! :)
@@AlphaBetaGamer oh yeah
ok they say to quote unquote “whip around and cap the thing in its noggin”
Sometimes Hudson sounds like Longmont Potion Castle. I don't think this Rat King business is legit.
edit: Oh.
Love this game so glad the dlc is an hour
yippee ive been hyped for this
26:56 is this The Polar Express reference???
Good ending we save the world of Christmas 😊
Saw Pyrocynical play this a while ago, glade it got a DLC
the police do NOTHING in this game and the other game 💀

Yeah, feels weird to release a Christmas DLC in September and about a month before Halloween...
Guess they ran out of ideas for a Halloween story.

Not a huge fan of how expensive the game + the dlc is.
God forbid artists be fairly paid for the countless hours of work they put into art, amiright? You can watch it online for free - sincerely, can it.
