Hey what a cool game you've made and it gave me a good fright a few times the way the just breathe in your ear and pop beside you oof. Little things like no checkpoints and a door code bug did annoy me tho since I had to restart for the door code bug but aside from that I really enjoyed your game! Keep it up and Merry Christmas! Here's my scary Christmas game themed video
Funny you post this the moment I was just finishing up an update that while doesn't add a checkpoint/save, does basically give you a Respawn from where you start with full health and added ammo.
Super fun game and perfect for Christmas! Kinda reminded me of Resident Evil a bit the way the enemies attack. A save/checkpoint feature would be a good addition for future updates.
thanks, honestly can't say if the game will have save/checkpoints, beside the game being pretty short. Do to the games level of random systems and player freedom I would need to do a lot of recoding for the game to keep track of all the systems for a proper checkpoint system.
Pretty cool game, I like the visuals and the unique enemies, and also thought the segment where you needed to remember the lyrics to Rudolph the red nose reindeer to find a code was an original and fun idea!
Though the lack of a checkpoint and having to restart the whole game after dying is not very good from a game design standpoint in my opinion.
Main reason the game doesn't have to a checkpoint system is mostly cause do to the games have systems that randomize things and such, I really did not have the time to try and code in systems that can keep track of everything to make checkpoints especially when the game is pretty short.
GREAT GAME BUT I THINK IT'S A BUG IN THE GAME CAUSE IT WOULDN'T LET ME BEAT IT AND I GOT MAD A FEW TIMES BUT I REALLY DID LIKE IT I WAS JUST DYING TOO MUCH PLEASE FORGIVE ME
I didn't expect this to be as stressful as it was! But it was a lot of fun to play! Never thought about angry evil trees trying to kill us! Great idea and great execution with all the mechanics!
If you're saying the entire game as you explore all the buildings and such, that is a very strange bug, I never witness that bug when I tested the game or got any reports of that. All I can guess is something happened whether it's your PC or during the download/unzipping that messed up the code that triggers the enemies.
so wait... the clock on the wall has nothing to do with the code? o man I wasted a bunch of time, im stuck with 3 wreaths , lighter , gas, and a clock that lies to me
so this was really well made and after raging for like an hour trying to figure out how to finish the game i can see the brilliance in it lol, but i think the note about Santa's reindeers needs to be put abit more in plain site, like the map is pretty big and to be able to find a piece of card it was so difficult, it took me a good half our just to find it, i think this is brilliant and you can see the amount of time and dedication put into this which i appreciate alot, but sometimes it would of been nice to have some direction if that makes sense im not the smartest cookie in the jar lol so it would of been nice haha, but honestly this was so good and thank you for putting in the effort to making a genuinely great little game!
Just a heads up, there was a bug I encountered where the note in the Santa room gave me a specific combination of names, and upon inputting the correct code based on that combination at the necessary door, it would not let me enter. Kept saying it was wrong even though I triple checked. Might be important to note that it gave me two of the same names in the note at the Santa room, which is what I think caused the bug. I spent an hour trying to beat this and was pretty much going to until the bug prevented me from progressing. That was the final straw for me lol. Cool concept, cool style, but pretty rage inducing imo.
thanks for letting me know, it is odd cause I have a system in place that should prevent an issue like that. So not sure what could have caused that kind of bug.
Cool game! Enjoyed every bit of it. The story and game play was amazing. I did get a bit confused on the code lock in the entrance building, but other than that, great game!
Let me start by saying that I think that this is an amazing Christmas Horror Game. However that being said, I think it does have some issues. The frame rate is all over the place and when I went to lower quality, it never saved and registered it. The game crashed on me a few times as well which is very frustrating considering there's NO checkpoint system for the game. The game also does this weird snappy thing with your mouse, mainly when you're outside. I think the ending could've been more climatic as well. All of that being said, I still recommend this game! It's a very fun game once you get past those issues and has a nice, neat story attached that kept me going back! Good starting point! Hope the bugs get resolved!!
Yeah, I recently updated the game, I was shocked to see the asset had massive poly counts and no LODs, so I use Unreals LOD systems to drastically reduce the poly count on the assets.

However I rage quit all 3 games in the video 😂 ran out of ammo and the trees got the best of me.
Check out my video.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Not sure where the codes are found for two of the locked doors, otherwise very scary, awesome job!
dammit 3 tries, no saves is really breakin' my bulbs lmao

little fun game thx! (2nd game)
Hiiii! I played this game this morning and it was really fun, although I was super close to beating it. 10/10 Christmas Stars!

Here is my playthrough:

cant pick up the ammo even when im completely out.
Weird, never experience that bug before. Guess it might be a bug caused by the download/unzipping the game.
Gave it a Let's Play, showed those little trees whose boss.
What was it that you couldn't do that didn't let you beat it?
I didn't expect this to be as stressful as it was! But it was a lot of fun to play! Never thought about angry evil trees trying to kill us! Great idea and great execution with all the mechanics!
for some reason, when I was playing the game, none of the x-mas tree demons or whatever appeared at all. Is this a bug or am I just lucky?

yeah the entire game i never encountered any tree demons at all, i must of had a not so great experience with the downloading or unzipping
I liked this game alot my only complaint is when you die you have to start over but othere than that it was a good game keep up the good work
Excellent work, my friend. Very interesting game. I made a gameplay on my YouTube channel ( @heavyhorrorgames ). Here it is:
so wait... the clock on the wall has nothing to do with the code? o man I wasted a bunch of time, im stuck with 3 wreaths , lighter , gas, and a clock that lies to me
Yeah, the clocks are just decorations (pretty much every local business has a wall clock).
You'll find the clues to the door code in Meet SANTA! Building and The Christmas Shop.
could you add little bit more ammo and more cocoa
gameplay above hope you enjoy
Thanks for the feedback. If I get more comments with similar issues then I would be looking into trying to fix that.

I just played and got the same bug,the same name twice and it did not let me enter.
I LOVED IT, i got stuck on the door code and i ran away xD but i enjoyed the game
This is a really great game. I kinda wish the gun reload was on the 'r' key. But beyond that, it's a really good game.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
Actually, the game does allow you to rebind the key mapping so you could make Reload be 'R'.
Very interesting survival horror game.
I enjoyed the game makes me want hot cocoa
This was fun!
nice christmas horror game.
I really enjoyed the game; I got jump-scared a couple of times, and I was also drooling over the hot cocoa 😂.

Thanks, I am looking into fixing the performance issues with this game
Good one but the tree is bugged
What you mean bugged?
whenever i look at it the pc lags and sometimes crashes.
Yeah, I recently updated the game, I was shocked to see the asset had massive poly counts and no LODs, so I use Unreals LOD systems to drastically reduce the poly count on the assets.
The Christmas tree crashes my PC. Whenever I turn and look at the tree, everything go really laggy :/
are you talking about the tree in the middle of the lot or the tree demons?
this is a good game but the christmas tree making lag
tree in the middle of the lot or the tree demons?
christmas tree in the middle
Yeah, I recently updated the game, I was shocked to see the asset had massive poly counts and no LODs, so I use Unreals LOD systems to drastically reduce the poly count on the assets.
since it was fixed i was able to make a video on it
