Krampus Kills

From the Devs

THE NIGHTMARE ON CHRISTMAS

Krampus Kills is a horror shooter that tells the story of a little brat named Finley, age 10, who lives with his parents in a northern town called Oakville. On Christmas Eve, Fin patiently waits for Santa, but little does he know that the ancient demon known as Krampus, the anti-Santa, has come for his soul! The game features extreme heart-pounding jumpscares, multiple locations, and intense Christmas-themed Horror as Krampus will track the player down, follow footsteps in the snow, and smash through walls to bring his new soul to the underworld!

Who is Krampus?

Krampus is the shadow of Santa Claus, and he takes naughty children's souls to the underworld. Krampus is one of the most powerful underworld demons. During your adventure into terror, you will discover the ancient scrolls of Krampus, which are filled with lore.

Fight the Elves of Darkness!

A large cast of hideous monsters awaits you in Krampus Kills. The Christmas demon raises the dead on the night of his arrival. His demonic elves will run at you as cannon fodder, while snowmen rain down icy artillery from afar. Zombies lurk around every corner, ready to swarm. Finally, we have Krampus himself, who pursues the player in a Mr.X fashion through the sleepy town.
