About the Game

Santa’s Shadow is an indie horror experience that pits the player against a crazed family member. The goal is to escape by any means nescessary.

Santa’s Shadow: a tale of grief, obsession, and madness.

After the tragic death of his son on Christmas three years ago, a once-devoted husband begins to spiral. As Christmas grew closer, his behavior grew more erratic. His wife, desperate to understand, confronted him-and the nightmare began.

It is Christmas eve and you were invited for dinner. When you arrive, things take a turn for the worse. As you explore the home, you’ll uncover cryptic notes, solve environmental puzzles, and piece together what happened. 

Key Features

  • Resource Management: Make use of any and every source of light you can before it runs out.

  • Puzzles: Search the house in order to find a way out.

  • Atomospheric fog and Christmas/seasonal decorations. 

  • Hiding: Get away from the enemy by utilizing your surroundings.
