Our take on Krampus Kills
The defining structure is Krampus's ongoing pursuit: the central enemy tracks footsteps, breaks through walls, and follows the player through the game's locations rather than appearing only in isolated encounters.
What is Krampus Kills?
Krampus Kills is a Christmas-themed horror shooter following 10-year-old Finley through Oakville as Krampus hunts him.
The main story moves between a large home, sewers, and a haunted forest, combining shotgun combat, stealth, puzzles, lore, jump scares, and enemy encounters. Krampus tracks footsteps, breaks through walls, and pursues the player throughout the town. The main campaign lasts about 2-3 hours for casual players and includes four named difficulty settings, achievements, ending rankings, and speedrun times. Completing the story unlocks Nightmare Mode with altered enemy placements and a secret ending, plus Survival Mode with endless enemy waves. Hide and Seek is available from the start and requires destroying three grandfather clocks in a forest while item locations change between attempts.
