About the Game

Christmas is a magical time… but not for everyone.

Krampus’ Work is a cozy but slightly dark indie third-person adventure where you play as a small demon working for Krampus himself. Your mission is simple: punish those who behaved badly and make their perfect holiday evening a little less perfect.

Explore several houses, each with its own story and unique set of tasks. Steal gifts, confuse the residents, disrupt the warm atmosphere — do whatever it takes to make sure the undeserving don’t enjoy a flawless Christmas.

Use unconventional movement abilities: run across ceilings and walls, slip into unexpected places, hide in shadows, and take advantage of your demonic agility to avoid being caught.

But beware. Each house has smart NPCs following their own routines: cooking, relaxing, moving from room to room, checking strange noises, and reacting dynamically to your presence. You’ll need to be clever to complete your missions.
