Reindeer Games
A downloadable game for Windows
Working Christmas Eve, with hours 'til you leave,
No amount of cheer will bring you a reprieve.
So work hard if you're able, in this festive fable.
For it's no simple task, putting reindeer in their stable,
In this cold, lonely place, something awaits your embrace.
Beware the festive horrors, if you come face to face...
Features:
10 - 20 minutes of gameplay
Multiple endings
Retro early-3D inspired graphics
Tense, sinister horror experience
Non-linear progression
Filters and Headbob can be toggled on/off
Controller support (mapped for Switch Pro, but others should work)
NOTE: if you are having issues with the controller, please close steam, as it can interfere with inputs.
How to play:
WASD - Movement
E / Left Click - Interact / Advance Text
SHIFT - Run
CTRL - Crouch
R - Bring up list of tasks
ESC - Open / Close Menu & Skip Intro!
Right Click - Special action, used for a specific task in game.
Controller buttons can be found in-game (again, they are listed as Switch Pro but equivalent buttons on Xbox and PS should work).
About:
This game doesn't direct you where to go quite as clearly as my other titles, there is a minimal expectation of exploring required to find out how to approach your tasks, and generally they can be done in any order. The 'Current Task' reminder in the top corner can be ignored and other tasks pursued if you like.
Pressing 'R' to bring up your task list should prevent you feeling aimless. Some tasks are acquired through gameplay and added to this list.
There are 3 endings in total, with the third requiring you do have done all the tasks in the game, but note that not all tasks can be completed in a single play, this should make replaying the game to find the other endings more enjoyable as you can do the tasks you missed out on before.
If you ever feel locked out of a task or think something isn't working (like the computer or coffee machine) check that the power is on!! There is an electrical box attached to the staff hut that you could easily miss.
PLEASE NOTE: You can hold ESC to skip the intro section!

This was entertaining. The spooks here and there were great.
Hi. I couldn't find any other way to contact you so I'm writing here. I'm writing about Egg Fried Rice. My friend and I passed your wonderful game a long time ago, and we were still wondering: How did you make this wonderful aquarium? True, after trying 1000 variants we still did not understand how you did it. Please, if you can help and tell the secret of this aquarium - write here and give contacts, or write to me in discord: .kruasan.
Adored this one! Graphically gorgeous, fun tasks and the reindeer were just too cute. All endings were so unexpected and clever (and creepy!)
The perfect game for the Christmas season, I really enjoyed it! Well done as always, looking forward to whatever you create next :DI knew elves sucked! Had a blast with this one. Good spooks throughout, loved how the elves continually taunted you ( although I wished there was something of a response from your character).
Good way to drive multiple playthroughs with the endings. Loved the jokes throughout as well.
Really great short horror game! Amazing job!
This is perfect!!! I fell in love with your game!!! I love your games!
Great game. The scariest part was getting more tasks xD
The game was a blast to play! If you would like you can watch the video I made for this game THANK YOUUU!!
This game was a fun play for the holidays :) Definitely wouldn't mind playing more by you!
Yo I played all your games so far so I guess I'm a fan lol.
I think the atmosphere is awesome in this one I just wish the jump scare was a little bigger after the build up.
Awesome game dude I can't wait to see what you make next.
Love games like these.. your games are always so fun to play.. even though I can never figure out how to get all the endings because I over think it ahaha.. nicely done
This was a great Christmas horror game! Reindeer, presents, grandmas trying to get last second presents, elves, and even [SPOILER]!!
I ended up completing all 3 endings and had a blast doing so! Thank you for awesome game!
Amazing game as always! You really outdid yourself. It's thought out and you can see that there was a lot of effort put into it.
Great game
Evil little things
good game. I hope to be full time on yt one day!
Merry Christmas btw!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I loved the game but it could use a bit of ambient noise like a bit of wind or something. Aside from that it was a nice game :D
Nice atmospheric game! Would work on Christmas night again! xD
Amazing game enjoyed all of it!
Enjoyed your game, Merry Christmas!
can confirm latest version solved the problem of the wood chopping not triggering , also really liked the 3d ending ^^
this was really good! I like when a game is set up in such a way that playing a few times feels worth it, Merry christmas!
Full Play NO Commentary 3 Endings
A fun little Christmas Horror Game, seeing that the reindeers have names (and also the choice of names) literally made my day, such a cute little detail c:
Keep up the good work! <3
