About the Game

You woke up late this Christmas day to find all of your family members suddenly gone. But that's not the only surprise... Christmas presents are scattered everywhere! What a pleasant surprise.

But wait, what are those items inside? A crowbar? Machine oil? A glue gun? Banana peels?

Well... while those might sound like awful presents, they sure can come in handy to prepare for the Christmas Siege party that's about to unveil.

  • Explore the Family Mansion: From the cozy Living Room and long, eerie corridors to the dark basement, dusty attic, and smallĀ hedge labyrinth in the backyard!

  • Survive the Holidays: Manage your 6-slot inventory and take care of your Christmas Mood. Find sweets and food to keep your energy up!

  • Fight Back: Use household items as weapons and traps. Stun your foes, inflict damage, and slow them down with injuries to make them less agile.

  • Atmospheric Horror: Experience an eerie retro-style atmosphere and immersive sound design. The house is well-lit, but you'll never know what's hiding behind a corner.

  • Short & Replayable: A tight, intense experience (30-60 mins) with three difficulty settings - for those wishing to relax and enjoy the holidays as well as those who wish to experience the true survival horror.

  • Dynamic AI: Face off against an intelligent (but comedically stupid) AI that will pursue you relentlessly. He gives you just enough room to breathe, but never lets you feel safe.

You are the only one who can protect the house now. So get to it!

Plays great on Steam Deck! In our testing, the game runs smoothly with a stable framerate and offers approximately 4 hours of battery life on a full charge!
