Santa's Hunt

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Santa’s Hunt — I Just Wanted Presents, Not Trauma 🎅🔪 Booting up Santa’s Hunt, the game immediately hits you with the Bloody Crow Games logo 🩸🐦 and honestly? Pretty slick animation. A cool little “hey, this is our thing” moment before the madness starts. Respect. Then… boom. Game starts in Deutsch No warning. No “choose your language.” Just straight up German like “Viel Glück, idiot.” I’m not sure if it’s a bug, a design choice, or Santa personally testing my Duolingo streak but you’ll need to manually switch it to English. On the bright side, there are 6 languages total, which is actually kinda nice 👍 Visually, the game rocks a retro 16/8-bit-ish style 🎮 (whatever the correct term is you know the vibe). Old-school, crunchy, nostalgic horror energy. You play as a child "James" , and within ONE SCENE of seeing your parents… 💥 Santa Claus (Krampus edition) brutally murders them in horrendous ways. Wow! Cool!!! Bye mommy and daddy 👋😃 .......... As the game goes on, you’re treated to cheap ass jumpscares 👻 the kind that aren’t smart, but still make you flinch because your brain is smooth. Santa’s AI, however, is… let’s be polite and say not very bright 🧠❌. You can maneuver around him pretty easily, which kills some tension but also makes his appearances unintentionally funny. Mechanics-wise: 🏃‍♂️ Sprinting makes the screen blurry even on high settings. I get the idea (immersion), but I don’t get blurry vision when I sprint IRL unless I’m Sonic The Hedgehog or some ♥♥♥♥. This isn’t The Flash Simulator 💨⚡ come on now. 👣 Footstep sounds? Straight up Minecraft cobblestone vibes sometimes ⛏️🧱 And occasionally, the jumpscare elves get stuck in walls, which turns horror into accidental comedy real fast 😂 Mouse sensitivity? 🚮 ASS. And not the good kind. 🤏🍑 I cranked it WAYYYYY up and it still felt off. Maybe others will like it, but my mouse was fighting for its life. Story wise though… DAMN. How bad of a kid do you have to be for Krampus Santa to murder your parents on Christmas 🎄💀? You’re literally hogging presents from good kids worldwide just to get stalked in your own house. That’s villain origin story material. One of the funniest moments: You’re crowbarring a boarded up door Santa made, turn around, and he’s just… standing there 😶. Then he PHASES THROUGH YOU LIKE A GHOST without even moving. No animation. No effort.. Apparently that’s the bad ending which honestly already started when your parents died. Even Batman would agree with me🦇 There are save points 💾 clever ones too because you don’t even realize when they happen. Which is both nice and confusing. Like what the hell? Then things go FULL fever dream 🔥🌀 After collecting fuses (because Santa had time to kill your parents AND scatter electrical parts around the your house??), a giant portal appears. Now you’re in another world getting shot by laser beams, holding a torch, and Santa tells you you’re “on the list” and must die. Sure. Why not. You burn Christmas trees 🌲🔥, wake up, call 911, and suddenly you’re playing as a POLICE OFFICER 👮‍♂️🔫. FINALLY — a health bar. A gun. Action. Funny thing? 🎯 Mouse sensitivity suddenly feels FIXED when you’re the cop. Weird. You shoot one elf and immediately call for backup wow, relax officer , what a ♥♥♥♥♥. 💀 Then upstairs turns into DOOM, where you magically pull an SMG out of your ass, out of nowhere and start blasting elves, flying ghosts, skeletons, and whatever escaped from a Christmas carol gone wrong 🎶👹. Then comes the real shock: 😳 A BOSS FIGHT. Santa Krampus turns into a massive portal monster and now you’re fighting his “father” or some cosmic entity. At this point, it’s safe to assume everyone is having one hell of a hallucination. Unlimited ammo helps though, thanks Bloody Crow Games, thank you. Eventually, you’re back, weapons gone (tragic), rescue the kid James, who just stands there looping a frightened animation while the cop talks 🧍‍♂️😱. Santa waits outside saying “he’ll be back,” there’s a typo or two, and James delivers some AI-sounding dialogue with what looks like an AI-generated photo of his parents saying he’ll get revenge 😬. Tables. Turned. ⏱️ You can beat this game and get all achievements in under an hour. Yes — it’s short. Yes — the jumpscares are cheapass. But honestly? 😂 It’s funny as hell. For the price, it’s a goofy, chaotic, bizarre Christmas horror experience that constantly caught me off guard not always intentionally, but that almost makes it better. 🎅🔪 Would I recommend it? Yeah. If you like weird indie horror, accidental comedy, and Santa absolutely losing his mind — this is a fun ride. And like that American Psycho guy said " Hey Hamilton, have a holly, jolly Christmas "🎅⛄❄️🎄🪓

başlarada sade bir korku oynunu gibi dursada aslında oyunda ilerledikçe daha da çeşitlendiğini görebiliyoruz biraz kısa ama hiçte fena olmayan bir oyun

Great job! I really liked how all over the place the gameplay was, really never knew what to expect. Mixed genres very well, great bite sized chrimbo game. 7.5/10

Es un juego divertido y bastante entretenido de terror , en mis ratos jugando no note ninguna falla y el final caótico fue Genial. Por lo que veo podría tener una secuela entonces esperare a jugar lo , buena calidad por el precio. en mi caso lo use para jugar lo y subir lo a youtube , suerte en sus futuros proyectos :3

Fun little game! Mixture of play styles involved, starting off with typical menial horror game tasks, but it eventually ramps up into survival horror then even full-on FPS carnage. Playtime is roughly 15-30 minutes depending on how much you want to look around and just enjoy the experience, or listen to the surprisingly decent music. Interested to see what the developer comes up with next :)

Санта придет, порядок наведет) . Угарная пиксельная размытая ретро картинка, на один разок угарнуть, но такие игры должны либо стоить 20-50 центов, либо отдаваться бесплатно. Игра на 20 минут. Мой летсплей: https://youtu.be/8VeKKCy9PxE?si=st9jAj5ZBh51J0A_
