Santa Vs. Undead

How To Play Santa Vs. Undead

Controller & Keyboard Guide

Everything here runs off your mouse, no keyboard needed at all. Click around the screen to move Santa through each room, tap on objects to pick them up, and use whatever you've grabbed on the things that need it, doors, zombies, locked drawers, you name it. The game walks you through the basics with a short intro at the start, so it's worth actually reading that instead of skipping straight past it. Once you get the hang of clicking and combining items, the rest kind of falls into place on its own.

The premise is somewhere between silly and genuinely unsettling, which is exactly the point. Santa comes home to deliver presents and finds his whole house crawling with the undead instead, and Christmas morning is not going to wait around for him to sort things out politely. So he grabs whatever's lying nearby, arms himself properly, and starts clearing rooms one by one before the tree even gets decorated. There's a point-and-click adventure skeleton underneath all the shambling corpses, puzzles tucked behind locked doors, items that need combining, little details scattered through a house that's clearly seen better days. It leans into that holiday-horror mashup without taking itself too seriously, which honestly makes the zombies feel more fun than scary.

Why You Should Play

• Mouse-only controls mean you can jump in immediately, no combo memorization required.
• A genuinely odd setup, Santa fighting off zombies, that manages to feel fresh instead of gimmicky.
• Point-and-click puzzle solving mixed with actual gunplay against the undead.
• Items to hunt down, collect, and combine, which gives exploring the house real purpose.
• Snowy, festive art direction that still finds room for some proper horror atmosphere.
• A built-in goal, clear the house before morning, that keeps each session moving with a clock ticking in the background.
