Putrid Snow
A downloadable game for Windows
Do you remember those VHS tapes of you unwrapping a shiny new game console for Christmas? Well… this isn’t exactly that.
Putrid Snow is a PSX-style low-poly adventure blending the survival horror vibes of late-90s classics with the paranoia of early-90s alien-hunting TV shows. Add a twist of dark humor, a parody-filled narrative, and - of course - tons of Christmas presents to unwrap.
Here, it’s not just your health you need to manage. Keeping your Christmas spirit alive is just as important. Without it, you might not have the energy to dodge something far nastier than the freezing cold.
Explore a creepy hotel with its unsettling long corridors, uncover dark secrets, and read diary entries that swing between chilling and hilariously absurd. Piece together a story packed with twists that are as shocking as they are unapologetically ridiculous.
It’s not just about surviving the night - it’s about surviving Christmas itself.
So throw on a virtual scarf, brave the putrid snow, and get ready for an eerie holiday adventure!

hello dear YXIS
I want to tell you that there is a Steam game called
Putrid Snow 2: House of Yule
and I wanted to know if you know about it
so can you tell us about it?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply, had a very tight schedule. PS2HoY is the first game I ever released on Steam. It's free just like the first game and it IS in the same "universe", just more like a sandbox survival challenge, like Home Lone meets Resident Evil. Try it out. It has zero plot so it doesn't continue the plot of the first game, but more of a fun challenge. In future PS games there might be references to it and some explanations about PS2 and what family this House of Yule belongs to :)
o ok
I thought it was someone else who is trying to be you
you know?
Thanks! It was a tough time developing it and it was a messy code architecture in the end, because I had to deliver it by Christmas and had to cut corners as much as possible. But I still love this title and it is part of my legacy. That said - try out Putrid Snow 2 House of Yule. It is available on Steam for free. It's a very different game, more of a Home Alone meets Resident Evil experience. But it is much more finished product as a game. It's less "horrory" and more sandbox adventure style.
Oh and sorry for the late reply, had a very tight schedule last month :)
Good game enjoyed it looking forward to play more of your games
Thank you! There were a few bugs here and there, had a tight timeline since I wanted to deliver by Christmas. But I glad you managed to play it to the end and enjoy it!
nice
