The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?

Butcher of the North is a first-person indie horror walking simulator set in a twisted holiday nightmare where the player explores Santa's sinister workshop filled with deadly secrets and terrifying creatures. The short atmospheric experience blends dark comedy with psychological horror in a linear, story-driven format.

I think if this had a little bit more time to flesh things out, this would be pretty good as just like a little like 30-minute horror game. It needs like brightness settings because it is so dark.
