Christmas Horror

Would recommend! For the price you pay for the game, you get a good charming Horror/Christmas game. I don't understand people leaving the bad reviews- If you wanted an Outlast you should've paid for an Outlast. It's also obviously the devs first game as they put in the ending sequence. It's not going to blow you out of the water, but it is a good fun game to figure out.

[h1]Грениподобный хоррор с Сантой[/h1] https://youtu.be/WJidMjqKVOA Не способен ни напугать, ни порадовать геймплеем. Визуал и звуки оставляют желать лучшего - Санту не видно и не слышно, с его скоростью перемещения убежать нереально, можно спрятаться в шкафу, если не забагаетесь. ----------------------------- Мои [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198029238071/recommended/] обзоры [/url] и [url=https://www.youtube.com/c/BOLTOREZ] прохождения [/url]

Who wakes up to a note on the chalk board left by his parents(?) telling him to see if there are any presents by the chimney. Lo and behold there is, but there’s also an added reward that will whisk him to… be continued~ [h1][+] PROS;[/h1] [b]:) SANTA KILL YOU~[/b] Would make the ideal last-minute gift for someone who’s been bad. Or who’s always wanted to live out a sordid fantasy of being chased by a jolly bearded fellow complete with beer belly, big boots and a giant candy cane to whack some disobedience! It’s a game of cat-and-mouse where you; the dumb-dumb have to either flee Santa’s shady shack on one of two means of transportation or end the man himself with a personalized shot(s) to the face…? The rush is in making sense of your surroundings as your very first attempt will be one eggnog-filled giant blur. Dying’s part of an established tradition, and so you get two chances each playthrough but Day 2 has its own err dark troubles… Generally, the game works on unspoken elements of strategy where you can cower behind objects tall enough to do the job, tip-toe around the mall santa reject as he patrols… just a few examples! I still haven’t cleared it, but I was real close too! Could totally picture at least 2-3 hours’ worth of entertainment in getting down the location of where each essential item is stored. Besides there’s a separate [b]hard mode[/b] where placements get mixed up, the suit sobers up to really clomp around faster and other more unpleasant memories~ [b]TIPS:[/b] 1) The radio spreading Christmas cheer has more purpose than you think! 2) Go to your happy place when your abusive foster father is closing in. [b]:) STAYING IN THE PRESENT![/b] I was absolutely feeling the festive spirit, believe it or not- even with the homicidal hobo on the loose. Some classics are being dashed out of a radio… someplace. The man himself also makes you feel at home with a few sound bites that are as old as time. Snow is really pouring down and they’re like little flecks of happiness! With presents aplenty strewn about, at least two has got to be addressed to you, so hurray! As for the Christmas trees, they could do with a few more touches of ornaments but no judgements. The only thing missing would be proper food as there are some questionable chunks of meat here and there~ [b]:) WHEN THINGS GO SOUTH… POLE[/b] There isn’t so much a story as it is an instant premise that you have to then escape from. But the intent is definitely clear; we could all stand to benefit from not being too consumed with well- consumerism... Being blinded by the positive façade of things. Remember the controversial [b]Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)?[/b] Or maybe the [b]Black Christmas (2006)[/b] reminder that even nasty shi* can occur around this highly anticipated and supposedly blissful time of the year!? Now the million-dollar question; is Santa real? Not looking to be a homewrecker or childhood destroyer, what I meant was more of whether the perpetrator in this particular situation could simply be some demented sob cashing in on the pristine reputation of the red-suit for his nefarious deeds. Which begs a legitimate question as well squares away a few things- such as why Santa’s workshop here is actually super depressing and akin to a crack den when you look past the decoration. So, I wasn’t as disappointed there wasn’t more milk to the platter of cookies, for it left room for imagination and realistic pondering. For instance, how the main kid’s house didn’t go all out either in stringing up lights, which could harbor some subtle hints as to their income status~ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2671676859 [h1][-] CONS;[/h1] [b]:( SOCK STUFFED IN THERE…[/b] The game suffers from a fatal audio flaw that spoils all the goodies it had packed for us. At first, I thought it was a result of the in-game radio drowning out everything else but nope! Manually tweaking the volume of my PC to 100, all sounds appear muffled. Footsteps are so faint that you won’t see santa coming until he’s all up in your face or it’s too late and that cane would already be in mid-swing… From what I understood, the ghost steps is an intentional mechanic but maybe have it only when he's in pursuit? Because if not, it’s more unfair than it needs to be~ [b]:( HO-HO-HORRIBLE![/b] The controls seem clunky and cluttered, for instance dropping items and interacting with objects all share the same key. So, you will be fumbling for things half the time! Using items is a problem all its own as you have to press your body all up against the, let’s say door and hoping the keyhole registers your reaching for it… I shudder to think what would happen if I were in the middle of a chase~ [b]:( A DISS-EMBER TO REMEMBER~[/b] I didn’t see it as a terrorizing experience, an ordeal yes- but that’s only due to the assortment of bugs. And you know something is up when the horror is solely that of the fear of losing progress, good grief! Springing a santa from out of nowhere isn’t all that frightening… okay maybe it is, but I still think a buffer would have done it better~ [h1]BUGS:[/h1] x A ton of blind spots where Santa can't molest you but this is a happy bug! x Phased into the floor, seeing what’s below them… x Carrying the large objects such as components for the boat will make going through door frames and tight corners a migraine. [h1]NITPICKS:[/h1] ~ The child’s pint-sized stature should be used more creatively! Like squeezing past the many cramped spaces between objects. ~ Items close together will have their pick-up text splay into each other. [u]ADDRESSED[/u] x Climbing up ladder has a horrible swaying effect. Easy to get stuck when wanting to do a quick escape! ~ The text “can’t hide with items” shows for other items except when holding keys. ~ The opening sequence should be skipped after the first encounter so that the playthroughs are smoother. ~ A quick restart button would do nicely! ~ Progress should be saved instead of reset altogether if caught during Day 1… ~ Minor irregularity with the "boat room" and "submarine" key. They are both the same thing! ~ Some typos! [h1]"Or Did It Now…?"[/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2671677507 [u]Last Words?[/u] Despite unprecedented “gifts”, bugs and taking “Silent Night” way too seriously, there’s hope to be merry. A good ol’ hide-and-seek fun, but very naughty one. Maybe I’m getting soft for the holidays~ If you like a mediocre but packed with potential Christmas Horror spirit, and can still be improved upon- hopefully in time for the actual festivities. If you have a grudge against the Papa Noël, this is a faulty but acceptable way to recant and hold off on asking for a better present~ [h1]7 / 10[/h1] [code]A secret santa gift to [b]Purple Thunder Games[/b] for the key[/code] [code]Don't forget to follow my curator [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37670120/] DaRevieweD[/url] for more games!![/code]

Santa kidnaps you and lock you in his prisons. The objective is to find items and escape Santas lair and it was just boring. There's nothing good about this game so do yourself a favour and spend your money on something else. 1/10

This is another cheap entry into the "[i]collect-things-while-avoiding-a-monster[/i]" horror genre. It is done in first-person view, and the monster is Santa. Yes, in this world Santa is evil. He kidnaps bad children, and performs a ritual to steal their souls in order to extend his own lifespan. This year, YOU are one of those children, and at the moment, you are the only one trapped in Santa's house. Playing as a small child is certainly different. You are about the height of an adult in crouch mode. However, as a child, you don't have crouch mode yourself. You are too short to reach certain things, but you are really good at jumping, and because of your small size you can only carry one item at a time. Yet, weirdly enough, you apparently seem to be able to handle a shotgun quite well. There are three ways to beat the game. You can escape by stealing Santa's sleigh, escape by his stealing his boat {[i]Wait... Santa has a boat?[/i]}, or by killing him. Whatever route you choose to take, you need to run around both the house and the front courtyard, searching for the correct items to get the job done. At the same time, you must avoid Santa's relentless patrolling of the area. The sound is absolutely abysmal. You must turn your speakers/headphones WAY UP to hear Santa's footsteps and voice. The graphics are below average, pixelated, and jagged. However, the keyboard controls are easy to use. You only have walk, run, jump, get/drop item, interact, flashlight, and pause. Unlike other games, a nice touch here is that the flashlight batteries do not run down. I would not classify this game as true horror, but it is very suspenseful. I jumped in my seat a couple of times when Santa snuck up and killed me either before I could react, or before I even knew he was there. Once he gets within a certain distance of you, your little child legs just can't run fast enough. Also, when Santa swings that giant candy cane, he does not miss. It's a one-hit kill. Always remember that stealth is your best friend. You get three attempts ([i]i.e. days[/i]) to collect all the items you need to succeed, while Santa supposedly prepares for the ritual which he will use to steal your soul. If you die, you lose your progress. You must start over back in your prison cell, and the next attempt will automatically be more difficult. After your third death, the game ends. I did experience two annoying glitches. Both of them make you restart the game, and thus lose your progress. The first one is in what I call the Gift Room. If you jump around on the gifts, you can get perma-stuck between two gift boxes. The second one often happens when you hide in the huge white wardrobe closets, so do not hide in those. You get stuck, and the keyboard stops responding. This game is meant to be played in one session, so there are neither manual saves, nor auto saves. Also, there are no trading cards. There are achievements, but they do not count on your Profile. It will take you 1.0 to 2.0 hours to get all the achievements, depending on your pace of exploration, how well you memorize the map layout and the location of items, and how many times you die. Once you get all of the achievements, you will probably never play this game again, but it is an interesting game worth playing. The game's rating hovers around 45%, give or take, and I don't understand why it is so low. I found this to be decent, enjoyable entertainment.

Such a captivating, interesting Christmas, exclusive, escape room game. No other game can compare to the complexity and mystery that this experience has to offer. May the confusion, bugs, lack of Santa, and Christmas spirit be with you. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Unfortunately, I can't write anything positive about the game (yet). Got stuck at the beginning. Despite the key, the prison door could not be opened. No further options for action. I gave it a second chance after update. Unfortunately, it doesn't convince me. Graphics and sound could be improved (f.e. it doesn't sounds like a child when you jump).

Nope

this kicks ass.

ITS BAD BARELY ANYTHING WORKS AUDIO TOO LOW, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ GRAPHICS, BUGGY + GRANNY RIP OFF DO NOT BUY
