Mari Lwyd is a short and fun retro styled horror game that draws inspiration from an old Welsh Christmas tradition that involves strangers turning up at your door with a horse skull.
In Mari Lwyd you have just moved into a new house in rural Wales and have decided to take a break from unpacking, sit down and watch a Christmas movie. However, then you hear some singing and a knock at the door and things start to get weird.
Taking around 15 minutes to play through, it’s a great little horror game with some excellent scares, a fun premise and some very creepy audio design. Also, it respects the source material and helps spread the word about a fascinating Christmas custom.
