Christmas is coming and Larry's got a big problem - his Christmas tree is telling him to KILL! Lead him through his murder rampage.
As the player, you take on the role of Larry, a man driven to murder by a talking Christmas tree. The core gameplay loop challenges you to navigate through various environments, stealthily approach unsuspecting victims, and silently eliminate them with your knife without being caught.
The stealth mechanics are the backbone of the experience. You must carefully maneuver through the shadows, avoiding the line of sight of the NPCs. If an NPC spots you, they will attempt to flee, forcing you to quickly dispatch them before they can escape. This creates high-stakes scenarios that require strategic planning and precise execution of your kills.
Initially, your only weapon is a knife, which can be tricky to wield effectively due to its precise hitboxes and timing. However, as you progress, you unlock additional armaments, such as throwing knives and a flamethrower. These provide more options for dealing with your targets and add depth to the gameplay.
The levels are designed with replayability in mind, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities. From the narrow corridors of the orphanage to the open dance floor of the club, you must adapt your approach to suit the environment. Navigating these spaces and finding creative ways to eliminate your targets is a core part of the experience.
The game incorporates a scoring system that encourages efficiency and precision. Factors like speed, stealth, and the number of kills contribute to your final score. This, combined with the various difficulty settings and optional challenges (such as obtaining S-ranks on all levels), provide a substantial amount of replay value for those seeking to master the game's mechanics.
The stealth-based gameplay has been praised by players for its satisfying and challenging nature. The retro-inspired visuals and the opportunity to play as the killer have resonated with fans of the genre. While some have noted issues with the precision of the knife combat, the majority of players have found the overall gameplay loop to be engaging and rewarding, especially for those who enjoy the darker, more violent themes.
