Santa's Corpse is Coming to Town 1.0

Low-budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to dazzle the audience with beautiful graphics, they instead need to focus on something else to stand out. These restrictions can lead to some very creative premises. Let's look at Santa's Corpse is Coming to Town.

To install Santa's Corpse is Coming to Town, simply unzip the files inside the archive into any folder you want.

The premise is the most interesting part of the game. Two years ago, Santa went missing. Nobody got any presents at Christmas anymore and it plunged the world into chaos. You play as a kid who, one day, find something covered in snow with some visible red cloth. You dig it out and...surprise! It's Zombie Santa, and it seems to want to hunt everybody down.

From here, though, the game gets pretty standard. You have to avoid Santa as you walk around the forest to find 10 different candy canes. These candy canes can be hidden in some decrepit buildings that are scattered throughout the woods, which can funnel you into an easy kill for Santa if you're not careful.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it's nearly beat for beat what Slender did all the way back in 2012. The only thing separating this game is its premise and its pixel graphics.

All in all, Santa's Corpse is Coming to Town is an incredibly unique horror game that everybody should check out.
