‘Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa’ Has You Dodging a Murderous Kris Kringle

Visiting Santa’s workshop doesn’t go quite how you’d imagine it in Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa.

Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa drops a scavenging crew off at a seemingly-abandoned planet. It’s not long before you find a delightful workshop, buildings loaded with gifts, and bright red candy canes. Oh yeah, and a nine foot tall Santa that’s thirsty for blood and hungry for flesh.

Your job is to dodge around this aggressively jolly old elf before he can deck your halls all through the village, toy workshop, and finally through his castle, somehow finding a way off the planet.

Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa offers first and third person viewpoints, as well as an array of video format looks (Christmas horror simply begs for that classic VHS static look), letting you customize your yuletide bloodbath.

A demo for Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa is available on Itch.io. The full version will be available soon for contributors to the developer’s Patreon.
