About the Game

A first-person stealth horror game telling the dark tale behind Christmas traditions.

When the deermen and their helpers prowl the town, the residents know to lock their doors and hide. But on one night each year a new creature appears, he's has been watching over the town and knows who's been naughty, not nice, and on the night of the trickster he'll climb down their chimney's to let the deermen inside.

You'll need to stay quiet and use tactics to survive the night, you'll meet others who are trying to break the cycle and uncover the origins of the trickster.

Will your playstyle be naughty or nice? The trickster will decide.

Key Features

  • The trickster knows who's been naughty or nice... if you keep a low profile and help others as you sneak through the game then he'll help, but ignore pleas for help and attack your opponents then he'll make sure the deermen know where you are

  • Help others... many characters need help, and may even return the favour. The trickster will likely help you as well
