About
In "Krampus," you play as a teenager who visits a country house with family for Christmas, but the holiday turns nightmarish when Krampus, a horned, child-punishing creature from folklore, appears. As you try to survive and protect your family, you'll navigate the house, craft items, and solve puzzles to outwit Krampus and his minions. The game combines festive cheer with horror, challenging you to embrace the Christmas spirit while battling dark forces.





- The game has some decent tension and effective jump scares, providing a creepy atmosphere.
- It's a fun little holiday-themed game that can serve as a quick time killer, especially if purchased on sale.
- Despite its flaws, some players found it entertaining and appreciated the unique concept of incorporating Krampus into a horror game.
- The game is plagued by frequent crashes and bugs, making it frustrating to play.
- It's very short, lasting only about 15-30 minutes, and many players felt the ending was lackluster and unsatisfying.
- The gameplay is repetitive, primarily involving finding keys to unlock doors, and the overall design and lighting are poorly executed.

“I stayed playing for the story.”
“The beginning was okay, you know, the whole 'get these things done then something bad is going to happen' vibe, but it didn’t really get any better. It had a couple of jump scares that got me, but other than that, there isn’t much to it. The story wasn’t bad, and the game crashed once, but...”
“No explanation on anything, and the story wasn't great.”
“Story seems to be alright, but I only just made it to the attic stairs when my entire game crashed.”
