Inspired by the gritty atmosphere and taut suspense of 80s slasher filmsChristmas Mutilator™ is a gripping, stealth-driven horror experience set in the chilly seclusion of a lonely, snow-covered cabin. You take on the role of Amelia, a loving mother and wife who has traveled to the remote cabin to celebrate Christmas with her husband, Adam, and kids. But when a murderous maniac starts stalking the cabin, your vacation plans take a terrible turn.

  • Dynamic AI – The killer reacts to your environment and actions.
  • Phone Mechanic – Read messages to uncover the dark lore.
  • PSX / VHS Graphics – Choose from 5 filters or combine them for the ultimate retro experience.
  • Custom Killer Masks – Switch up the killer’s look for added variety.

Adam and the kids are stuck outside while you are alone in the cabin, and a snowstorm ensnares your family, miles from assistance. You can feel the loneliness, and your main responsibility is to keep the place safe and secure. However, you understand that you are not alone as night falls. Someone is observing, waiting for the ideal opportunity to enter. Outwitting this vicious murderer and getting away before they destroy everything is the only way to live...

But it's not just the psychopath that you should be afraid of. Adam and Amelia's relationship has never been easy, and as the game progresses, a terrifying revelation could ruin everything you believe to be true about him.

Christmas Mutilator™ is about surviving your own house, employing every tactic and tool available to you to stay hidden, stave off the invader, and discover the truth about the man you believed you knew. It's not simply about escaping a killer. One incorrect move could result in certain death in this game, which blends heart-pounding stealth techniques with psychological strain. Every creak of the floorboards or shadow in the corner may be interpreted as the psychopath's next move as the atmosphere grows oppressive while the storm rages outside.

Will you be able to survive the killer, uncover the dark secrets of your husband, and escape this nightmare? Or will you become another victim of Christmas Mutilator™'s brutal house invasion?

The WORST Christmas I've EVER Experienced! [Christmas Mutilator]

I picked this up on Steam some time ago and finally got around to playing it. I must say, it has a well written story and is quite an good game. While many players expressed frustration with the checkpoint system, I personally didn’t find it to be a major issue, especially when returning to where I left off. It seems like you just need to be ready to invest a bit more effort if you’re aiming for a satisfying ending. After all, the game dev undoubtedly spent more time making the game than we will ever spend playing it. Overall tho, I’d rate it a perfect 10 out of 10

Thank you very very much, yeah, it is truly not the best checkpoint system, in my mind I thought it felt decent enough, I just wanted to also keep the dev stuff simple for me too on my part, so I can launch it in a reasonable time. Thank you again!

Hey I made a video on this game! Really cool! I love these indie horror games especially ones with this style. I sadly didn't have the time to get the best ending, but I'm sure I will one day! 

Hello Ryder thank you very much for your kind words!

Here is the gameplay guide made by a fan for Christmas Mutilator.

Has anyone else had an issue on Steam where this loads into a white screen? The first two pages with Galactic Crows and whatever the second one is pop up, but as soon as the music plays and (I'm assuming) I'm supposed to be at the menu, it's just a blank white screen. Tried verifying files, restarting PC, and reinstalling the game. I guess I can try getting a refund on Steam and buying it here instead, but idk if that'll change anything...

Hi, thank you show me how it do it and the game was excellent I like it and also like that can change killer mask this was really good Christmas horror game only one thing was there some logs flying it was bit weird to me but still like the game anyway well done keep it up your great works!

Another banger from Galactic Crows! I think all I have is praise for this game. It looks cool, with or without all the screen filters, it ran perfectly, it was a good length, a fair price, a good level of challenge, and a story that hit so hard. I loved it. The best Christmas themed to release this season so far for sure! If you're looking for some Christmas horror, this is a must play.

Thank you very much! Happy holidays!

definately best christmas

 horror!

Happy holidays! 😎🎁

This was an AMAZING Christmas horror game. Captures the feel of Puppet Combo games, as well as, Fears To Fathom too! The checkpointing was a little tedious, but not too bad to make me stop going for separate endings! FIRE GAME!!

Thankss a lot!!

I have a lot to complain about the hiding scene in the stairs.

Besides that, it was okay, I enjoyed it.

When he was coming at me, it was pretty dynamic and I was satisfied

Hi, so did I buy the game here for nothing when I can't play this game from here when  said that I should use Steam and I should waste money again then on Steam to be able to play this game I thought the game would have worked from here bit shame that maybe again I spend my money on Steam but I buy next week anyway the game also looks really cool so I really definitely gonna play this on Steam 

Hey, the game comes up with a Steam key, check your donwloads / payment page.

You have to go on your itch.io receipt, there will be a Steam key too, and the download button.

Hello, look, forgot to send you a pic.

Hello,

I dont understand why there is no quicksave after the tv sequence? Why I have to replay half the game again to get to this point again?

So I played the hole scene three times. The killer is running in a continous loop in front of the stairs and the game has hung up, after hiding at the stairs...

Its just a suggestion, but I would really set the quicksave later. 


Greetings

Hello there, I'm really sorry about this, I'm a solo dev, and it's quite tough to get such a complex save system to work. I try my best.

But I tried to light up that area so you know thats were you gotta hide.


Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoyed this little game I made.


Best of luck, and happy holidays!

My apologies. I completely missed that it comes with the steam copy. Awesome game

I requested a refund through PayPal. I bought this game through this site, but your game does not recognize it because I didn't buy it through Steam. 

The game requires the Steam client to function properly, as explained in the readme file.

After activating the key, ensure the Steam client is running before launching the executable file for it to work as intended.

Happy holidays!
