Steam Store description

October 2017 Update: Our Halloween update adds 6 new levels of excitement as you guide Santa through some very spooky houses, and a new achievement! About the Game It's that time of year again where developers release Christmas related games that soon destine themselves to haunt the steam libraries of gamers annually, or at least until they are deleted. No doubt, this game is no exception. Secret Santa is a pixel art 2D arcade stealth game featuring Santa doing what most would consider illegal and sneaking through people's house at night. Your job is simple. Guide Santa to the Christmas tree of every house and drop presents off without being detected, shot, chopped, or blown up in the process. Enjoy 30 stages of Santa working his way through the nice and naughty list, only to face the real challenges ahead with 3 more difficult lists on his belt to overcome.
