Someone has stolen the magic of Christmas in Vienna, and you are the only one who can get it back, in this festive self-guided exploration game. Follow the trail of the mischievous Krampus through four Christmas markets, the MuseumsQuartier and the Hofburg, solving puzzles to recover the Christmas elements he hid across the city.
