Skip it if you…

Our take on Christmas Mutilator
The focus on surviving one isolated cabin invasion gives the game a concentrated setting, but limits the range of environments and situations compared with broader horror adventures.
What is Christmas Mutilator?
Survive a Christmas house invasion as Amelia, who is alone in a remote cabin while her husband and children remain outside during a snowstorm.
A murderous intruder stalks the building, requiring stealth, concealment, defensive tactics, and an escape plan. The killer responds to the player’s actions and surroundings. Phone messages reveal story details, while Amelia’s troubled relationship with Adam develops alongside the immediate threat. The game combines psychological horror with a home-invasion scenario and a retro visual presentation. Five PSX and VHS-style filters can be selected or combined, and custom killer masks change the intruder’s appearance. The objective is to stay alive, uncover secrets about Amelia’s husband, and get out before the killer reaches her.
