About
Description
You are the one Santa always passed by. Not a single gift in your entire life—just an empty space under the tree. Years of disappointment have brought you to his doorstep. You won't ask. It's time to demand what's yours.
But what you find behind the door has nothing to do with children's fairy tales. The workshop is working on something completely different, and his assistants are looking at you with unnatural interest. It becomes clear that some Christmas secrets are better left undisclosed.
Gameplay
Stop waiting for gifts. It's time to take them. Take everything you can carry.
Explore a creepy lair filled with deadly secrets.
Face terrifying creatures that serve Santa.
Uncover the main secret of the New Year's workshop.
Features
Chilling horror: Forget about the fairy-tale Santa. You'll meet the Butcher from the North, a creature in a bloodstained red and white robe whose sack is meant for far more terrifying “gifts.”
The atmosphere of a holiday turned nightmare: Explore a terrifying lair where joyful garlands twinkle above pools of blood, and New Year's melodies, distorted beyond recognition, create a unique atmosphere of anxiety.

Стырил подарки и избил Деда - день прошёл не плохо! А игра очень даже не плоха! Рекомендую!))) У меня она кстати уже на канале: https://youtu.be/s7EqVu557HU
🌑 Introduzione: il gioco che dura meno di un pensiero Butcher of the North è talmente breve che se ti gratti un sopracciglio rischi di perderti metà dell’esperienza. È come se il gioco ti dicesse: “Oh, guarda… io ho fretta. Facciamo veloce, ok?” Ma la durata del gioco non sarebbe cosi importante in questa recensione, se il gioca costasse 1 euro e avesse un finale cosi ... surrealmediocre ? 🔦 Atmosfera: buio cosmico, livello sacchetto della spesa L’atmosfera è così scura che inizi a chiederti se il monitor è rotto. Non è “dark” nel senso artistico… è proprio buio. Tipo “sto giocando dentro un garage senza luce alle tre di notte durante un blackout”. Se ti piace vedere cosa stai facendo, questo gioco ti punisce. 🌀 Storia: surreale come un sogno fatto dopo una cena pesante, a natale. La trama è talmente surreale che sembra scritta da qualcuno che ha dormito male e ha deciso di trasformare il suo incubo in un videogioco. Non è bella, non è brutta… è semplicemente lì, come un oggetto misterioso trovato in cantina. 🗡️ Gameplay: funziona, ma non ti ricorderai mai di lui Il gameplay fa il suo lavoro. Non eccelle, non delude. È come quel collega silenzioso che non dà fastidio, ma di cui non ricordi mai il nome. Fa quello che deve, poi sparisce nel buio da cui è venuto. 🕳️ Conclusione: un’esperienza che… è successa Quando finisce, ti lascia quella sensazione tipo: “Ok… è successo qualcosa? O ho solo avuto un’allucinazione di 12 minuti?” Butcher of the North è breve, scurissimo, surreale e neutro come un bicchiere d’acqua tiepida. Non ti cambia la vita, ma almeno non te la rovina. Di horror natalizi ce ne sono di mgiliori, e di molto. ---------------------- 🌑 Introduction: the game that lasts less than a thought Butcher of the North is so short that if you scratch an eyebrow you risk missing half the experience. It's like the game is telling you: “Oh, look… I'm in a hurry. Let's do it fast, okay?” But the length of the game wouldn't be so important in this review, if the game cost 1 euro and had a less ending...who knows? 🔦 Atmosphere: cosmic darkness, shopping bag level The atmosphere is so dark that you start to wonder if the monitor is broken. It's not “dark” in the artistic sense… it's really dark. Like “I'm playing inside a garage with no light at 3am during a blackout”. If you like to see what you're doing, this game punishes you. 🌀 Story: surreal as a dream after a heavy dinner at Christmas. The plot is so surreal that it feels like it was written by someone who slept badly and decided to turn his nightmare into a video game. It's not beautiful, it's not ugly… it's just there, like a mysterious object found in the cellar. 🗡️ Gameplay: It works, but you'll never remember it The gameplay does its job. He doesn't excel, he doesn't disappoint. He's like that silent colleague who doesn't bother you, but whose name you never remember. He does what he has to, then disappears into the darkness he came from. 🕳️ Conclusion: an experience that… happened When it ends, it leaves you with that feeling like: “Ok… did something happen? Or did I just have a 12-minute hallucination?” Butcher of the North is short, very dark, surreal and neutral like a glass of warm water. It doesn't change your life, but at least it doesn't ruin it. There are some Christmas horror films, and many.
아니 왜 잘 가다가 절벽으로 급커브함?
아오 깜짝이야. 넌 선물 안 받는게 맞다 ㅋㅋㅋ https://youtu.be/A80ev41dEro
ахах игра на 20 минут с тремя скримерами. Понравилась атмосфера, снеговика которого замочили в начале, гномы. Концовка хз, спасибо что стоит недорого :))
https://legeekparesseux.fr/test-gaming/boucher-du-nord Je n’attendais pas grand-chose en testant Boucher du Nord. Je savais pertinemment que ce serait un jeu court, donc la durée de vie limitée n’a rien de surprenant. Néanmoins, c’est un peu dommage, car au vu de la fin, il y avait matière à en faire plus. J’ai apprécié tout le reste : l’ambiance, le petit garçon turbulent qui mérite bien quelques claques (tu as mérité ton sort !), une pincée d’humour, et une période de l’année revisitée façon dark. Bref, Boucher du Nord est un jeu sympathique, mais il ne faut pas s’attendre au jeu de l’année. Malgré tout, j’ai passé un bon moment dessus. Si vous aimez les jeux d’horreur indépendants, foncez ! Une manière originale de découvrir le Père Noël sous un tout nouveau jour.
I am Faulpelz and have already played a few titles of the genre. This is a great experience of a mix of pure fun and jump scares. I loved the scene where he sent the Snowman to sleep. Since it’s so short, I can’t say more. But for this money, it’s worth it!!
Esta decente, bueno para pasar el rato <3
와... 게임이 너무 어둡네요.. 공포게임 입문분들이 하시기엔 좋겠네요! +단점으로 최적화가 덜 된건지 특정구간에 렉이 좀 걸렸어요
