Christmas Massacre sees you going on a killing spree because your Christmas tree told you to. Just don’t get caught while you you’re doing it.
I love that the Steam page for this game asks “But whose side is the tree really on?” As if a Christmas tree that tells you to kill people COULD be legit, but maybe something is off about this one. Anyway, your favorite holiday decoration wants you to go out and chop people’s necks off. Because they’re naughty. I guess you’re taking over for Krampus these days. At any rate, your character feels this is a perfectly legitimate request and sets off to start hacking folks to death. He’ll just need to be very careful about it, as the people in the game world don’t really appreciate your killer antics.
So, the main goal of each area is to manage to kill everyone on the map without being seen or caught. I guess your character feels it would be too hard to explain what he’s up to, so it’s just better if no one knows he was there. As such, you have to do everything you can to avoid detection. This means skulking around the area and staying out of sight. While wearing a Santa outfit. Very discreet (not that the other costumes are any subtler). You have a noise and shadow meter in the corner of the screen to let you know if you’re being too loud or if you’re too easy to see. Keeping an eye on these will help keep your killing spree going, but you also can’t kill people where their bodies will be found. That gets you caught, too.
It’s a hard life following the directions of killer trees in Christmas Massacre. However, it is a ridiculously bloody, absurd holiday horror game (how are Puppet Combo so good at making killer Santas?) to play now that the holidays are behind us.
Christmas Massacre is available now on Steam.
