Christmas with Father Ben
A downloadable game for Windows
Hidden beneath the rotting floorboards of an abandoned house in a forgotten village in the dead of winter. A videotape that simply reads “Christmas with Father Ben.” Let curiosity take hold and experience what might be the darkest Christmas Special ever made.
"Christmas with Father Ben" is a short interactive experience that draws inspiration from Rankin/Bass stop-motion Christmas specials and real-life disturbing events.

What a great way to start Twelfth Night. Absolutely beautiful rendering and composition! The scenes inside the house feel especially accurate, but I also love Saul's morphic VeggieTales style movement; reminds me of clay balls being mushed around.
I like the silent animation and intertitles a lot more than I thought I would. It feels authentically cheap in a way that complements the obscure origin, and it highlights the interactive and punitive purpose of the cartoon. My mind keeps going back to the fire behind the crop.
Great work! 💚💚💚
This was an amazing game, you did an incredible job with the stop motion and the spooky atmosphere. This is a true Christmas Horror classic!
Thanks to the dev for dropping by my vid, amazing work! It was a unique and fun play! Give it a try guys
NICE GAME :)
So sad that there is only one ending, but still really good!
Happy New Year!
There are actually 3 Endings in the game. But they are very similar to each other.
What a solid little christmas horror game this was! Loved the whole style with it looking like a old-school stop motion animation. Really well made in that department for sure. And the overall vibe with top notch! Made a video on it.
I love the animation.
You really nailed the style with this one. Very well done.
This gives me major 'Life with Grandpa' vibes and I love it
Very interesting! I wonder if father Ben had anything to do with the kiddos disappearing... Great job!
Masterpiece!

One of the most haunting VHS tapes I've ever seen! Just a horror gold standard!
The "Tunnel Vision" had me intrigued in many ways. It had story, atmosphere, unique lore, but this one is straight up shocking, horrifying and extremely dark. The dialogue and word choice is masterfully crafted as well as the FMV (I assume) style motion picture put with the help of Unreal Engine. This was a high class in horror and I genuinely felt uncomfortable. Stellar experience, well done!
Best of luck with the future projects. I am definitely following you right now. Cheers and Happy Holidays to your team!
This is awesome make more games. I LOVE YOU FATHER BEN IM SORRY FOR DISOBEYING IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY
