The guests arrive soon and nothing is ready. In Ellie Thanksgiving Day, Ellie's holiday dinner rests on your shoulders: the food needs cooking, the table needs setting, and the room could use some decorations.
You work through the preparations step by step - kitchen first, then the table, then the finishing touches - and the payoff is the moment her friends walk in and the dinner comes together.
It's a cozy, seasonal one: less open-ended than the sandbox games, more like being trusted to run the holiday. Good for getting into the Thanksgiving mood any time of year. Free, browser-based, no download.
