Our take on The Krampus
The game shifts horror away from a purely solitary setup by allowing a friend to join the escape. Its Krampus folklore and Christmas setting also replace more familiar horror backdrops with a seasonal supernatural threat.
What is The Krampus?
The Krampus is a third-person horror game set in the 1800s.
Players control children escaping Krampus through varied locations, including his workshop and a Victorian home. Levels contain locked doors and concealed routes, while Krampus pursues the player. The game supports single-player play and online co-op with a friend. Survival involves running, hiding, using the surroundings, discovering shortcuts, and finding a route to safety.
