About the Game

Holiday Haywire crosses classic "zombies" style gameplay with a jolly Christmas theme. Join up to 7 friends to in your battle against "Krampus", an evil Christmas spirit who is hell-bent on destroying your house and removing you from the Naughty list permanently.

Fight off Krampus and his minions for as many rounds as you can survive, but make sure not to let the fireplace go out, as that may be the only thing keeping Krampus outside... Inspired by other popular zombie survival games, Holiday Haywire aims to be an enjoyable game to play with your friends while still offering a healthy challenge.

- Features Online Co-op with up to 7 other players
- Includes many purchasable weapons to encourage steady progression throughout rounds
- Offers scaling difficulty based on the number of players
- Interactive enemy AI which responds to changes in the environment
- Planned content updates for most major holidays, including new maps and gamemodes
