Krampus Quest

Krampus Quest is a retro-style action-platformer in which Krampus escapes imprisonment and fights his way through the snowy mountains of the North Pole to take revenge on Santa Claus. Once Santa’s feared counterpart, Krampus punished wicked children while Santa rewarded the good. After Santa decided to reward all children equally, Krampus spoke against him and was imprisoned for insubordination, with his hook taken away. More than a century later, a stranger gives him the key to his cell.

Krampus’s revenge

Armed with his soul-bound chain of punishment, Krampus jumps, wall-jumps and swings through levels, fighting enemies and bosses while dodging traps and pitfalls. He absorbs souls from fallen foes and explores for upgrades. The game includes some exploring and backtracking, but its progression is mostly straightforward.

Souls and upgrades

You can spend the souls Krampus absorbs to buy upgrades and sub-weapons. The game also includes 8-bit pixel graphics, chiptune music and still-frame cutscenes.
