About
"Christmas Horror" is a short first-person-shooter game where you, as a child, must escape Santa's house before he takes your soul in a ritual. With limited inventory space and no save system, evading or defeating Santa is your only chance at survival.

“Since you're going for a VHS playback aesthetic, find one that looks like it came from a VCR.”
“Graphics and sound could be improved (for example, it doesn't sound like a child when you jump).”
“Graphics-wise, I had to turn off the VHS effect early into the game because, in my opinion, it was distracting and actually took away from my enjoyment of the game.”
“Def an interesting concept but horrible graphics and no sense of game direction.”
“Negatives would have to be a general lack of direction for the first 30 minutes of playing, a low audio output (I had to turn my headset almost all the way up to hear sound) and a high pixel count with distracting visuals.”
