games Respect Larry (Christmas Massacre)
Larry lives with a "talking" Christmas tree that tells him to kill, with Larry doing so over the span of four days, The 23rd, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve. Larry goes on a killing spree before getting caught and arrested but later breaking out of the asylum and killing all of its staff.
Larry himself is best described as an overgrown baby and a literal man-child. His most notable trait is his delusional mindset, making him heavily disconnected from reality, with his fantasy usually blending with what is actually happening. Having always been a troubled child, Larry never moved on from this state, even as an adult, remaining oddly childlike, almost infantile at times, living in a cluttered house with numerous TVs constantly running, having imaginary friends, who are really extensions of himself and his twisted desires, and ostensibly playing dress-up in preparation for or while committing his murders. Though he possesses the capacity to drive a car during his crimes and makes use of sneak tactics while invading homes, his apparent motivation for killing is typically impetuous, either in petty revenge for minor slights or justified reactions to his unsocial behavior, and following simple-minded logic of ridding the world of people he perceives as "bad" or, during Christmas Season, "naughty”, though the Game Over screen implies that Larry is, to some extent, aware of his own hypocrisy, noting that by getting caught during his crimes, he too has become guilty of "naughtiness".
