About the project

This game was made during the Game Dev Unlocked - Game Jam #3. The theme was Winter. This was my first time participating in a game jam and I quickly realized how little you can do in a short amount of time. I'm happy with what this ended up being despite its very short play time. I hope you enjoy it! 

My creative goal was to make a short creepy story with a holiday theme. My technical goals were to learn the following about Unreal Engine: UI, music, sound, modifying animation, and packaging. Let me know if you find any bugs or have issues running this on your computer. I know there is more I can learn from this project.

If you feel inclined to toss any coins my way, rest assured they'll be used to fund future games.

4 Christmas Horror Games


Great short experience very enjoyable 

Don't PLAY With This SCARY Little Girl.

Had a lot of fun playing this short horror story... I really liked the mood in this game, the graphics, the story... If you love scary stories about Christmas/Winter → PLAY THIS GAME!


(If you are too scared to play it → WATCH MY VIDEO)

love it thank you 

winters gift is the second video!

This was well made and although very short was very quick to get to the twist. Good stuff... :)

I just released a 3 scary games video, and this was the 2nd game at 15:37! Really interesting experience, but I wish it was longer. Otherwise, it was a great experience and I did not see the twist coming!

Anyways, here's the video: 

Looks creepy at first, good for bedtime stories!

I liked the talking in it and how it was short and sweet. Short horror games are always awesome. Good job!! 

(+1)

I loved the narration and I definitely didn't expect that ending, good work! 😁

Do you think you'll ever expand on the story? 

Oh hey! What an entertaining, pretty, and committed young youtuber! I should love to meet her some day. ;{)

Oh hey! What a hilarious, distinguished and kind young YouTuber! If love to meet him some day 😉

I was left with many questions, lol. I'd love to see the story fleshed out a bit more and some interactive elements, but it was very pretty and I enjoyed it!

(+1)

I wasn't expecting something that started off so cheery to end so horrifically! Good job on the narrative side! Would have liked a little more interactive stuff though! 

(+1)

SOOOOOOOOO.... Winter's family died, right?🤔 I mean that's what I thought a least. Loved the Voice acting!!😍 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!😁👍

A short but well made game! Everything from the graphics to the style of story telling was well put together and well done. I would recommend!
(+1)

enjoy this little short game about a family murder I think there kid need help but that it was good game 
(+1)

It's a really neat story! I would love to have seen more creepiness to it though. Overall, I did enjoy it. It reminds me a lot of the stories on VR. The game is second in the video. It starts at 15:04

(+1)

Really neat. I love the look of this and it's really creepy. I'm not sure I understand exactly what was going on though.

Show post...

VERY GOOD JOB DEV

This was such a creative idea, I really loved this. A visual story like this could literally become a series of some sort. Great concept. 

(+1)

Could see this as a whole project, nice work :)

Full Play No Commentary

This was pretty good. Made a video on it.

Another fantastic little experience! I played The Interview a while back and found out later this was made by you too! Although it lacks a little in the horror department It did shock me a little at the end! Looking forward to see more, Mr. Alday!
(+1)

This was the second game I played in this video. It is a very short experience, however, that doesn't stop the player from being invested in every single second of it! I can't say much without spoiling, but give it a try! I enjoyed it very much!
(+1)

I find it difficult to say anything that will spoil this short and mysterious story. This is a must play. It has a storybook feel all the way to the end, but maybe not a story to tell children. Well done, dev!

(+1)

The game has a really great story and is fairly decent considering the time limit. Though for some reason youtube don't like the music used. But besides that, game's fairly good.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/c/Levont

I did not know what to expect but I'm glad I played this game😆! It had a a great narrative and very good considering it was only done in 3 DAYS!🙌🏼

(+1)

Hello, I played this game and I liked it, it was pretty short but "sweet", I would suggest adding subtitles, aside that it wasn't too bad, good work :)

Thanks!
