[ Once you enter the Escape Room, a series of messages pops up on your phones: ]

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wellll it looks like Naffy's out of commission? It'll take her awhile to reboot with how hard she just got hit by the autocensor!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Whatever you did, it really made her mad! Haha!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway since I know what's going on now, I'm happy to help! It looks like the nature of the threat is a gang war between an evil thought sealed and another that you all and your fans helped to return to the world of the not-so-living? Wild!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: In case you didn't get the memo, this means you're going to explore the combination WcDonald's and Damned Queen's Cookies!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There you'll find something you're looking for, probably…? But mostly you're looking for a way to contain the outbreaks!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: And fortunately, we've received a message from a friendly entity known only as "The Borger King", who apparently has a stake in the downfall of Lonard's lost empire…
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: It says:
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: There is a war going on for your mind. Steal their secrets. Create the Ultimate Prankburger. The king awaits. Salvation will come.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Wow! It looks like it's time for corporate espionage, or something?
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Anyway, you get to keep everything you find, unless it's a dolphin! That's mine.
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: Better get going! Charge!!!!!

Now Playing - IiIiIiIiIiI

Welcome to WcDonald's! Though...it feels like there's a big too much Yuletide cheer here? The Damned Queen seems to have invaded recently, leaving her mark...There's a Lonard Wcdonard statue in the middle of the dining area, and it has a Yuletide hat on! Truly, horrific.

It is certainly busy. The mascots have expanded to not only be Lonard, but a number of others, including Grimace and whatever the hell this thing is. There's also…uh…a 3d mural…?

Don't ask.

The counter is at the back of the room from the entrance, past the booths and tables, behind the counter is the menu and the entrance to the Kitchen. To the left is the door to the F U N Z O N E.

Now Playing - it hurts

The WcDonald's kitchen has a state of the art WcDonald Rotational Deep Fryer, an Ice Cream Machine, and a Burger Assembly Counter. Also, from here you can comfortably view and interact with the service counter and its cash registers, behind which employees safely take orders from those in the Dining Room from miscreants demanding their WcFlurries be given to them for free and that their manager be summoned from the depths this instant.

On the wall near the break area which consists of two very uncomfortable chairs and no tables is a posterboard with various things pinned to it. A phone can be heard ringing at the counter.

You can return to the Dining Room.

Now Playing - make her wish come true

This is the F U N Z O N E. In the F U N Z O N E, you may have to take certain risks, such as a giant flyswatter slapping you in the face as soon as you enter the zone. Of course, if you had Foresight, you could easily avoid the flyswatter.

There is a jungle gym, a slide, an obstacle course, the Legendary Ballpit, and a set of rules that must be followed. No running, only one child enters any given attraction at a time. Failure to follow these rules will displease Lonard.

Now Playing - MASAMUNE Shopping (Christmas Edition)

Welcome to The Yuletide Queen's Manor/Remote Bakery Yuletide Cookies, recently invaded and sullied by the foul Lonard WcDonard! There's not a dining room or anything because nobody is supposed to eat here. No, they're supposed to appreciate what their Queen has so graciously granted them, that one day they might have an order of six (6) Yuletide Cookies delivered directly to their home! To this end, a lone shopkeeper works the desk.

On display on his counter are several objects that are not cookies. Lonard must pay for what he has done.

To the left is the Freezer, out the doors to the back leads to the Damned Queen's manor proper.

Now Playing - Through the Fire and the Flames

This is the Freezer, the second holliest and third jolliest location in the Damned Queen's manor. Here she stores the supplies needed to create her ultimate cookies, which is why there are meat hooks hanging from the ceiling. Besides that, there's just stacks of barrels with strange black goop, as well as a bunch of wrapped giftboxes everywhere.

Also...a recreational slot machine?

In the center of the room is an idol, emanating dark Yuletide magicks - it seems you won't be able to progress further without dealing with that, but how can you even get close to such a thing…?

You can return to the Lobby.

Now Playing - ???

This is the Santae Room. In the Santae Room, you may have to take certain risks, such as having your soul seared by the holly jolly gaze of the patrolling Santae. Of course, if you had Laser Mastery, you could easily avoid the Santae.

Somehow, the Damned Queen's Yuletide magick feels tenuous here - despite the attempts of the Santae to hold everything together, it is clear her battle with Lonard caused great damage to her ability to maintain her domain. The music is unsure, uncertain. Easily interruptable, even. But not while the Santae are a danger…

[Got an 8!]

Proceed.

If we already had lunar new years isn't it way past Christmas...?

[Can he go examine the display?]

[Don't like this,]

[Automatically just throwing an axe at the statue, gotta take advantage of that surprise round,]

Displayed for sale are bombs, lamp oil, rope, and one set of Damned Queen's Cookies(6) with accompanying a handwritten note.

There is also a free sample of Damned Queen's Cookies(1).

[ this place is weird. this is fucked up.

going to The Manor straight away is just bad game choice. you shouldn't do that unless its a NG+.

he is concerned that the freezer, however, will have bodies in it.

which is gross. but he heads that direction anyway. ]

[Wincing a little at the background music. He is vvvery tense at the sight of that statue, giving it a wide berth as he heads over to inspect the 3d mural, though lbr the mural is also bad,]

...well, this is awful.

You have displeased Lonard.

Your weapon bounces off of him. Weakened though he is by the Damned Queen's invasion, he is still not to be trifled with. Your very soul is twisted painfully.

You suffer four of the following status effects:

- Minor burns
- Bone hurting (your bones hurt)
- Mild hypothermia
- Tinnitus
- Broken arm
- Broken leg
- Eyes bleeding
- Severed limb

[Time to... attempt to talk to the shopkeep.]

Ah- hello! What exactly is the cost of all these?

[Well]

[Dropping to one knee]

[Also her arm falls off, i guess,]

There does not seem to be anything particularly unusual about the mural. It is simply as jovial as Lonard himself is, even if it too has been partially marred by the Damned Queen's holly jolly magicks.
